First two words were lucky - didn't have to worry about eliminating letters

 

[winjim]

I did that today between lines two and three. As @winjim says it is only allowed in standard mode.

We've seen a few people fail or have to drag it out to line six because they've kept their letters in place and had to scroll through umpteen permutations when a completely different word might have meant they were able to eliminate or confirm several different letters in one fell swoop.

Called in for inspiration. I’m on line 2 and for the life of me can’t think of a word for line 3. Have four of the letters with only one in the right place baffled how they fit together.

Minutes later I got it

Sometimes you've just got to relax your brain a bit.

Has anyone got yellows on the first row and then deliberately ignored them on the second?

(Almost) Always.
My first word has 4 vowels.
The second word has remaining vowel and 4 common consonants

It's my normal strategy. Compared to keeping the letters you know I'd say it makes it less likely for a really quick finish, but much less likely to fail altogether.

I would see this as a wasted move but it does depend on your starter word. My trusted starter word gives me good info as to the letters my second word should contain. I wouldn't leave out a yellow because this wastes the opportunity to try for the correct position of said yellow.

Testament to the power of caffeine. Got to row three and was utterly stumped. Inspiration came with the first sip of coffee.

Nerdle today: for three rounds I had my colours mixed up. After the brain reset the solution fell into place:

Perhaps this is a good strategy.
