But it is a strategy. And since it isn’t even the best, according to you, why would anyone even be mad about it?
• u/Muphrid15 4d ago Some people seem to think any attempt to try to solve the game or play optimally (even if it's incorrect or flawed) is against the spirit of the game. • u/ScoutsOut389 4d ago I just don’t understand that thinking. If the goal is to solve the puzzle, why not optimize for winning? Should I just throw a random 5 letter word out as my opener each time? JAZZY isn’t a great start. • u/Underdog_1337 3d ago Yeah, but you’ll never get JAZZY in one guess unless you open with it every time 🤷🏻♂️ • u/halfasleep90 3d ago But you’ll never get AUDIO first guess unless you open with it every time, so it works out
