I understand that feeling. The social aspect of the Wordle - sharing grids — creates an expectation of some social agreement on scores.
But I doubt HN could agree on what is good sporting wordling. Some of us like to guess with no sources save our minds; some of us wrote code to generate optimal strategies. And like, it’s super easy to just delete lines from the share button output, if you feel embarrassed. We all had fun with it differently, at different skill levels, which made it a special phenomenon.
If you compare with friends, tell em what tools you use. They can say you cheat, or you’re cheating yourself, but if you’re having fun and being honest, you’re playing it right.
> yet I get mildly irritated/frustrated (is there a word for combination of these two?)
