Yes agreed. Had everything dialed in except a card that I only knew to be a spade and no helpful information from the ranks. Just had to exhaust my guesses numerically.

The rules drastically limit the needed guessing with the "No random kickers" rule:

    The rank of each board card will alway be a part of at least one player's hand in at least one phase.
Have played this for a week now. Took me 3-4 days to understand the no-kicker rule. Once you do, the game becomes a lot easier.

I almost wish there were kickers. Maybe modify it to no kickers in the turn or river.

I had to guess because one of the three flop cards were uniformative
Wait, my pokle question was:

    Liz: Qd Qc, 2nd, 1st, 1st
    Riz: 4s 9s, 1st, 2nd, 3rd
    Siz: 10d Ad, 3rd, 3rd, 2nd
I got it in 5, and my answer had no spade in it. Did we have different pokles?
I had the same question as you
I lied
Got to this point as well. But it requires a certain amount of logic and intelligence to put together the process of elimination test efficiently. Got mine on try 6.
I didn't realize it on first playthrough but since the rank is ordered on the flop you do have a clue that way
