This is so infuriating. I've lost I think 3 times already because of this type of word choice.
Note: This is only relevant if you play on the hard-mode, which enforces you re-use guessed letters that have already been signaled as correct.

Wordle is simply not meant to be played on hard mode.

Oh those are the worst. There should be a term for that early success curse when playing it on Hard Mode. Getting a bunch of greens right off the bat can be a kiss of death.

Today was actually a fairly bad one for that.
Even if you don't play hard mode it can be difficult to eliminate even 3 less common letters or so in one shot.
