I either play adieu or audio as the first clue. The next clue will use anything found along with letters like S,T, R, L, and N which are popular. After that, it is studying the board. Quordle is a bit more involved, but I can usually find 2 of the words by guess 4.
On Nerdle, I start with an equation using 6 of the available numbers on the first clue like:
98-75=23 (leaving 0, 1, 4 and 6) I had an equation the other night that was much like the complaint about Wordle where you're trying to find one letter. One number in the equation affected the last number in the equation because they were the same (I should've taken a pic) and the equation worked with several numbers, like changing 5 in the equation and 5 in the answer. 4 yielded a good equation, 3 did too. I finally got it on the last guess because it was the only number left to try.
