Terms of Use

Using the game and its explanations

The site offers word-ladder practice and tools for checking routes. Follow the rules displayed in the game you are using. Here, a move keeps the word length at four, changes exactly one letter and produces an entry accepted by the current dictionary. A route copied from another source still needs to satisfy those conditions before it works here.

The explanations support the tool's current behavior. They are not a guarantee that you will finish within a particular time, achieve a particular score or recognize every word. Optional hints can help you continue, and a valid route above the minimum still reaches the target. Use the features at a pace that suits you.

Do not submit sensitive information through word fields. They are intended for words and routes, not passwords, private correspondence or payment data. If a control does not behave as described, stop using that control and send a short report through Contact.

A result has a defined scope

Minimum move counts are calculated within the selected dictionary. The familiar-word setting can change that dictionary for intermediate steps. Comparing two results without checking their word lists or options can therefore be misleading. The solver and dictionary information explain these limits.

A term rejected here is not automatically invalid English, and an accepted term is not automatically suitable for every context. The practice collection is filtered, but no list can guarantee that every reader will interpret every word in the same way. Report a questionable item with its exact spelling and the context in which it appeared.

This site's sample labels and explanations do not certify the current official puzzle. The original service at poople.io ↗ controls its own rules, daily rotation and accepted submissions. This project cannot change another website's score, reset time, account or vocabulary decision.

Availability and local progress

A page may be temporarily unavailable, and browser storage may be cleared or blocked. There is no player account that restores local progress across browsers. If you want to keep a particular route for your own reference, use the available copy or sharing controls before clearing website data.

Changing a puzzle, restarting an attempt and clearing browser data are different actions. Read the relevant control before using it. Saved results may not describe a later dictionary version if the vocabulary or puzzle collection changes. A historical route can still be worth reviewing, but its old move count should not be assumed to apply unchanged to every future version.

No purchase is required by this site, and it does not offer a paid subscription or a guaranteed support response time. Any future paid feature would need its own clear terms and working purchase information before it is offered.

Sources and feedback

The word-list source has its own copyright and license notices, linked from the About page. This project's selection and filtering do not remove those notices. Third-party game names identify the services being discussed and do not imply that their creators operate or endorse this site.

Feedback should describe the issue without impersonating another person or including private material that is not needed to reproduce it. If you report copied material or a rights concern, identify the specific page and material, explain your relationship to it and provide a way to reply. A vague accusation without the affected address is difficult to investigate.

The privacy notice explains local progress, hosting and messages. For questions about these terms, identify the relevant section and explain the feature or result it concerns so the issue can be reviewed in context.

Sharing results and reusing material

The available sharing controls prepare a result for you to send through another application. Review that text before sending it. A copied route may reveal the entire solution, while a summary may omit the dictionary setting needed to reproduce it. When comparing results with another player, include enough context to make the comparison fair and respect any spoiler rules in the place where you share it.

A result from this site is not an official score certificate or proof that a route was accepted by a different game. Do not describe a practice label as an official daily puzzle number. If you quote an explanation or refer someone to a tool, use the relevant page address so they can inspect the current wording and scope themselves.

Using a word list, quoting a short explanation and copying visual artwork are different kinds of reuse. The included word-list notices explain the conditions for that source material. They should not be interpreted as a blanket license covering unrelated images, another website's content or every element of this interface. A link to a source does not transfer ownership of that source to this project.

Use the published tools without disrupting them

Use the visible controls and public pages for the tasks they describe. Repeatable practice lets you play another round; it does not require repeated downloads of the same page or automated requests that interfere with access for other visitors. If a tool stops responding, preserve a small example and report the failure instead of repeatedly submitting a large input.

Some inputs have practical limits. The solver is for four-letter endpoints, the route checker accepts a bounded sequence, and the contact field is intended for a short report. Dividing a large collection into many messages does not turn the contact address into a bulk processing service. For a broader request, explain the intended use first.

If you notice an exposed private value or an unintended route, report the affected address without probing other people's information or publishing sensitive details. A bug report does not authorize changes to this service or to an external game. The contact page is a way to describe an issue, not a remote administration interface.

Third-party destinations control their own availability and conditions. A broken external link or a different vocabulary decision there can be reported, but this project cannot guarantee that an external service will change its behavior or keep a page available.
