Honestly, I used to think looking up a wordle hint was cheating or just kinda silly because Wordle gives you clues as you play. But after playing a bunch, I totally get it now. The game seems easy at first, but some words are wild hard, especially when there are repeated letters or tons of words with the same ending. I remember staring at that green G in the middle forever, no joke. Sometimes you just get stuck and a hint feels like a lifeline to keep your streak, especially when you see online that everyone else is having a hard time too. Plus, some people just want to keep their streak alive more than anything. So yeah, I kinda changed my mind. There are days when a hint is the only way I avoid a total flop. Don't let anyone tell you it's cheating—sometimes it's just trying to stay sane and have fun.
