Project: A French static clone of Poople.io Repo: /Users/ujperso/dev/cacaple Status: Research / Analysis phase

What is Poople?

Poople is a daily word puzzle game where players transform a start word into the word “POOP”, one letter at a time, in as few steps as possible. Every intermediate word must be a valid 4-letter English word.

A new puzzle is released every day at 08:00 UTC.

What is Cacaple?

A French adaptation of the same concept:

  • Target word: “CACA” 💩 (or another French 4-letter word TBD)
  • Dictionary: French 4-letter words
  • UI: Fully in French
  • Hosting: Static site (no backend needed)
