How the Poople Solver Works

The Poople Solver utilizes an optimized Breadth-First Search (BFS) graph traversal algorithm over the entire dictionary of 4-letter English words. It treats each valid word as a node in an undirected graph, connected by edges to every word that differs by exactly one letter change.

Because BFS explores nodes level by level, it is mathematically guaranteed to find the shortest path to POOP without ever getting trapped in infinite cycles or redundant detours.
