I usually like, guess all of the 3 and then go through all the brackets so I don't accidentally get a "get all guesses back" when I'm already at full guesses
@Dakooties
I just barely found out you could remove duds and all that jazz. For years, no matter how long it was (I love letters), I would randomly guess the first one and then figure it out. Sometimes I'd mess up and use the three tries and have to start over but once you figured out how it worked it was a fun and easy little thing.

Difficult hacks can usually be solved in the fewest guesses, although not the fewest headaches. More letters=more similarities. However, I usually pick out two words and then start running the matched pairs until I get my tries replenished or I have only one word left that makes sense.
@667Agent
I've found that I have the opposite tendency: larger passwords have less common parts and are therefore easier to clear. It's pretty ironic that I find easy passwords harder; I always run into a bunch of words with 3 letters similar, which means I'll exhaust my tires before finding the right one.
@jugggy3rd
at this point im just choosing the first 3 words from top to bottom 😹
@jimmyandrews3963
The first three, then back out and repeat until successful.
@XtomJamesExtra
Hacking Fallout terminals: There is actually a very easy way to hacking any level of terminal. Just count the vowels. Virtually every word that unlocks a terminal is the word that has the odd man out number of vowels. If all of the words have an even number of vowels, except one which is odd, the password is likely the one with the odd number of vowels, and vice versa. It is extremely rare for there to be an even spread of words with variant number of vowels in the consoles in game.

Remove Duds, try one, rule out rest
@theworldsgreatestjidiot9667
I broke my screen so I couldn't see what I was picking so I just took the fourth rank of hacker and just kept going at it until I got it right.

"Do you randomly try three guesses, then back out and try again" The whole time
@jacobwilson56400
First three options, duds, reset.
@Memorywholed
I do them the intended way. It's surprising how many people didn't know about duds and password resets considering how the bracketed characters become highlighted unlike everything else that's an individual characters.
@theodoredaniels3192
I'm the exact same way as you in 3, NV, and 4. However in 76, I always spam 3 tries and then back out. Don't want to die while using the terminal!
@James-_Bond.
For fallout 4 I would just put any word and for fallout 3 and new vegas I would get confused
@person420
I just look a word that are near each other
@trevor19qhshe
I will ALWAYS guess the first 2 until i run out of guesses then back out until i get it right.
@TheCat_3
I try 3 guesses(sometimes trying to puzzle it out based as the in game system wants) then do the bugs so I can get that refill
