Octordle is definitely like that. I think you want to do a 3 to 4 word opening sequence of some sort unless you get very lucky earlier. That said, going beyond 3 words I found turned it into more of an anagram solving game but not really improving my typical score. (I find it's very hard to have more than one or two guesses left given you pretty much have to use 8/13 for the final guesses unless you luck onto an answer you weren't shooting for.)
