Am I cheating at Wordle? (lemmy.world)

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.

I start with RATES and usually get it in 3-4 tries.

I compared all 15,920 words in my wordbase used as winning words with the same words used as starting words, and RATES is good. It ranked 6th in one of the modes.

RATES - the averages for all games: 🟩 12.55% + 🟨 23.35% = 35.90%

The first place went to:

TARES - 🟩 13.89% + 🟨 22.02% = 35.90%

And max green to:
SANES -🟩14.55% + 🟨15.95% = 30.49%
