I picked up this strategy from somewhere- first 3 rows do not repeat any letters
I’ll almost always get it by row 4 or 5
300 so far and maybe only 4 losses

Sometimes when you've got 4 letters, but still half the alphabet to go, you have to ignore what you've already found and pick a single word that takes out as many remaining letters as possible.

For example, by turn 2, you've ruled out A, U, D, I, O, S, N, D. That's 8 letters in 2 turns. By turn 6, you'd only added 4 additional letters.

Instead, you should think about all of the "_OUND" options and how to combine as many of them as possible into single words to kill as many birds with a single stone as possible. Your only real goal to keep the streak alive is to find the missing letter with one turn left.

Once you had "SOUND," the only possible combinations that could go with "_OUND" were P, R, W, F, B, H, and M. However, this also indicates that you can't guarantee a win by just guessing (which you found out).

If you had tried the word "PROBE" you would have knocked out 3 possibilities in one turn (and would have found the right answer). "BROOM" knocks out two more, and you're on turn 4. You've got 2 possible letters left, and 2 guesses left. Guaranteed win.

My current running streak is 28, lol.

I'm bound by a code of honor that looks upon this tactic with shame.

This is a country/territory guessing game, I'm not good at it. They will provide directional and distance clues but that's it.

That's BRUTAL.

I got to 90% without using a map, but holy crap that's intense. Pretty fun though. I'll probably start doing this one.

I guessed Micronesia on turn 5 (that's what the 90% was), and it didn't count, but Nauru (the correct island) is an island in Micronesia. I mean, I guess you could be more specific, but I tried to guess Tasmania earlier and it wasn't an option, so if an island that's part of Australia is not counted, then why should this tiny random island in the middle of the Pacific that's part of Micronesia be an option?
 
Would make a fun game at home for multiple people etc
 
Did we really need more time wasters? I have enough without 'dles.
 
Honestly, they've about run their course for me at this point. The only reason I am playing now is because the kids play and send their results, so I play and send mine. I don't play until I am sitting down in the evening, so maybe not a real time-waster but I could be doing something else with the time.

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.

9*8-7=65
0+12/3=4 let's you know everything involved in the first two guesses.
