28. About checking with Five Forks...

I'm a little disappointed that so many people use Five Forks to see whether a given word has been used in a previous Wordle quiz. I'm not trying to be a curmudgeon here, but this seems to go against the spirit of the game and give an unfair advantage, although it may be technically legal. Why not check with online word lists to see which 5-letter words have a "u" and an "i", for example? Where do we draw the line?

Curious to know what folks think.
