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.
The goal isn't to solve the puzzle, the goal is to have fun. I personally think playing exactly to the meta is a soulless unfun action that turns a daily fun challenge into a chore that must be completed. Every time I play, I think of a word that uses 1 or 2 vowels and different common consonants and go from there.
I have no idea if its the best strategy or not because I think reading up on wordle strategy is lame.
Okay but hear me out… what if different people enjoy it differently? Who gives a shit? My point is simply that it is weird to tell someone they are playing wordle wrong (not accusing you of that). If I go through and solve all the vertical clues in the crossword first before attempting the horizontals, is that wrong? It’s a damn newspaper puzzle. 😆

It's certainly not a cheat code, just one strategy.
