Wordle has been trivially cheatable from day one using any of the gazillion scrabble solvers out there. Treat unknown positions as wildcards.

At the risk of sounding like your fourth grade teacher, you’re only cheating yourself.

I would argue that using a dictionary is a tactic and one to better help you better play the game by introducing you to the idea of a decision tree. You can ask Wordlebot how you did and see how it approaches the problem with all the knowledge short of knowing the actual word.

Obviously. I’m not saying I do itZ I was just confused why GP thought being able to cheat at wordle is somehow new.

i wasn't thinking it was new, so wasn't trying to say that, i was talking about what constitutes cheating by degrees.

I did use Word Hippo as a bit of a crutch sometimes when I was starting out and got stuck but haven't looked at it in many months.

It depends on whether you play for the love of puzzles or the love of words.

If the appeal is puzzle solving, then you may want to use a dictionary as part of exploring a puzzle solving technique.

If the appeal is words, then you may enjoy plumbing the depths of what words you know, why you know them, and how they are put together.
