29% of people believe those who regularly solve Wordle in short order — meaning in three guesses or fewer — are probably cheating to achieve their impressive results, according to a new survey.

You may be an ace at Wordle, the daily New York Times NYT, -1.61% word-puzzle game that’s become a fixation for many Americans since its October launch. But there’s a good chance your friends think you’re cheating your way to success.

Wordle players have up to six tries to guess a five-letter word of the day, with the game offering feedback after every try. If a player identifies one of the correct letters, Wordle will highlight it in a shade of yellow. If the letter is also in the right position in the word, the highlighting is in green.

Or, at least, that’s how some Wordle players view the matter, judging from observations also posted on social media.
