Am I cheating at Wordle? (self.wordle)

submitted 10 months ago by gac11 to c/wordle

So whenever I play Wordle, I start with 3 words that cover a huge amount of letters in the alphabet. I use SPARE, LIGHT, MOUND every time unless I can easily guess the answer earlier.

It feels like I'm cheating, so I was wondering what others think.

A three word set with no C or Y? That's not cheating, that's just handicapping yourself. You'll never get the Wordle in 3 unless it happens to be one of your starting words.

Try starting with SHALE and PRINT and try to solve it in 3. If you really need another hint after that, follow up with GUMBO or COMFY.

The only time I use multi-word starts are in races or in multi-Wordle puzzles like Quordle. For those, I start with COMET, FLASH, BRINK, PUDGY because I can type them fast.
