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.

    They just feel right, I do think that using recommended first words is kinda cheating. DUSTY is a blend of common consonants and uncommon vowels, which works well for me personally. CLIMB hits a bunch of less common consonants. Usually by then I have at least a few hits, so I rarely get to KNAVE, but it gets the common vowels and trickier consonants. I haven’t exactly done analysis on them, but it rarely takes more than 3-4 attempts.
