It’s a very specific word with not too many other applications. Also tends to raise eyebrows when used in polite company…
Rhymes with a word used to describe a long length of timber that floorboards are screwed to.
I have a standard start word Containing two vowels. The letter I got right but in the wrong place wasn’t a vowel so I was going to then use my usual second word Containing two different vowels. Then it popped into my head how to possibly incorporate the letter I got and that was luckily possible by changing a vowel and inserting the right letter in place of One of my second word consonants.
Nerdel is still basically guessing within the confines of the game, i.e. how many places can the = be in leaving a certain number of combinations after that which are just guesses using as many different numbers.
There is a technique to both but they still rely on how lucky you were with first two guesses really.
the only guess is the first one everythign else is logic plus guessing*, the better your logic the more insformed your guess can be. the equals is the key once you have placed that in one of its three likely places aslong as you have been eliminating options during your guessing its really limited what you can do.
*its not so much guessing as a tactical elimination
