Yeah I feel the same way. I want wordle to be about guessing words, not constructing some max entropy string within the constraints.
I use that same strategy in Wordle. Most often my first word is SOARE and the second is MINTY… unless I got like three matches in the first word, it’s better to get extra data quickly.
EDIT: game's over. It's already been done: https://rwmpelstilzchen.gitlab.io/wordles/ Is anyone keeping track? So now we have: *wordlists*: - [wordle]( https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/ ): wordlist picked by creators partner - [byrdle]( https://rbrignall.github.io/byrdle/ ): wordlist has to do with choral music - [lewdle]( https://www.lewdlegame.com ): lewd words - [sweardle]( https://sweardle.com/ ): 4 letter…

I get the same feeling as everyone. There is no point in the game because even a single digit wrong is no clue at all. In my 1st and only attempt, I entered 1 + 2+ 8 = 11 and both pluses, the 2 the 1 and the 8 were right, with only the 2 in the wrong position. And yet that gave zero clue to what the other number was... and it turned out to be another 8, which made finding the solution really luck-based.
And finally lost because I too didn't realize that I could re-use an 8. I'd feel bad but it could have been any of the choices I did take so ... maybe not so fun.

Ha! I played the exact same first game! https://pasteboard.co/NYP4YfnNj0kk.jpg

What frustrated me was the guessing. By equation 3 I had everything narrowed down except the 1s place in the answer which was same as number in the equation. So, I spent the next 3 guesses trying the remaining digits, and eventually losing with 2 more digits left to try.
You can test every digit and symbol in 2 guesses. Once you’ve done that it normally takes another 1 or 2 guesses to get the answer.
This is very frustrating. It's like Wordle but without any of the nice or enjoyable elements.
I prefer to open with: 2*3+8=14 or 84/7-5=7. I find it tremendous important to find which place the equals sign is in while eliminating operators and digits.
