OpenWhich word list does this tool use?
These helpers use the Poople Run build snapshot: SCOWL rel-2026.02.25, an independently calculated English four-letter word graph, with retained observed starts. This is not the original Poople word list, and accepted words or routes can differ. Today and Yesterday compare against the snapshot printed on their answer page; the official puzzle day changes at 08:00 UTC. A newly observed daily bridge may not be accepted by a build-snapshot helper yet.
