But it is a strategy. And since it isn’t even the best, according to you, why would anyone even be mad about it?

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.

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.

I don’t care how people play the game, their games don’t affect me at all.

But I personally find playing the same word (or same two words) every day to just be a boring way to play the game.

Wordle is not hard and doesn’t require any serious min/ max strategies to solve the puzzles.
