This strategy is specifically banned by the rules: https://czechgames.com/files/rules/codenames-rules-en.pdf

I quote:

> Your clue must be about the meaning of the words. You can't use your clue to talk about the letters in a word or its position on the table.

You're talking about cluing about the position, so it's against the rules.

I guess the rules do also say:

> But if no one notices that a clue is invalid, it counts as valid.

which kinda maybe makes it legal, but it seems like it's quite against the spirit of the rules, and the "invalid" clue thing there is just stuff like "accidentally used a word that's a part of a compound word on the board", not maliciously trying to cheat the rules.
