By playing Wordle well, you are essentially eliminating as much unknown words as possible each turn, e.g., SALET alone takes 12974 words down to 34 here today.
replyBut this is like Wordle hard mode with the forced letters, so the optimal strategy is probably to invert and eliminate as little words as possible each turn.
I got pretty far here using weird words, but PIZZA turned out to be a terrible first guess for Don't Wordle (eliminating ~75% of the words):
* 12974
PIZZA 3169
AQUAS 290
SAWED 17
MEASE 7
LEASH 0Wordle hard mode (which I play) generally limits you to a similar degree as this game - it's less strict programmatically, but anyone willingly opting into hard mode is likely following the same rules as are enforced here.
replySo it should be the same.
(assuming here that you're deliberately attempting to lose this game).
I think you really did just get lucky. It does pick a word up front at the start.
replyThe game is cheating I guess
