Route logic
Why this Poople route works
From WASH, Poople #340 records the sequence WASH → WISH → WISP → WIMP → PIMP → POMP → POOP. The opening transition changes the second position from A to I, and WIMP → PIMP shifts the first position from W to P. Together, those edits show how the ladder reshapes the word while maintaining accepted entries. It reaches POOP after 6 single-character moves and matches the published par.
A repeatable solving method is to check both ends. From the start, keep letters that open several valid next moves. From POOP, work backward to a likely final bridge, then look for a word that connects your forward and backward chains. This reduces random guesses while you test the playable board.
Solution strategy
Why the bridge word matters
POMP already shares three letter positions with POOP. The final move changes the third letter from M to O, completing the ladder without disturbing the matching characters.
To apply this strategy to another Poople game, work backward from POOP: list its valid one-letter neighbours, then test which candidate connects to the chain you are building from the starting word.

Source and review
How this Poople answer is checked
Poople Today stores the puzzle number, starting word, par and published route with its source. Automated checks confirm four-letter formatting, the correct start and target, one changed letter per move and agreement between the route length and par. The recorded source is retained internally for review.
The current route status is multiple valid paths. Structural validation confirms that the displayed chain follows the game rules. Separately, the Difficulty Index searches Poople Today’s validated word list for computed minimum routes; that calculation does not prove that no route exists using a word outside this list.
