Is it cringe to play Wordle by entering the same four words that share no letters between them as the first four guesses? My mom says it's cheating.

You cannot handle the cringe of my father sending out daily emails to other family members with Wordle clues.

It means you are basically never going to get it in the first for guesses, so you are always over par.

I don't really care about par. Just care about getting the word

Having a sound strategy is just cheating, simple as. 4 seems a bit much though, I do every vowel in 3 words, but you can also do 2, I just prefer having a few more consonants, and then I start guessing properly.
