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.

It’s not cheating so much as using a strat to play the game optimally.
Think of it like the difference between playing a game casually and speedrunning a game. When you play casually you just do whatever, fuck around and if you make it to the end in a somewhat proper way great, if you don’t that’s good as well. When you are speedrunning a game you learn all the strats and execute them for optimal gameplay with the goal to complete the game as fast as possible within a certain ruleset.
It totally depends on what you want to do, do you want to fuck around and just have some fun? Or do you want to get to the end as fast as possible? Neither is wrong and I wouldn’t consider speedrunning cheating, it’s just a different way to enjoy the same game.
