I don't think it's that hard to be honest, I think you're just missing a system. What I do is start with words that have different vowels (like AUDIO or OLEIC) to rule things out quickly, and then go for the most common consonants like R, S, T; sometimes it takes me two or three tries but I rarely get stuck past the fourth attempt.

The vowel strategy is solid, but honestly I get bored with it quick and prefer something more direct. I start with words I've practiced (STARE, SLATE, stuff like that) and then I go by what I eliminate, without overthinking the structure.

What actually saved me was stopping obsessing over finding the perfect word and just trying combinations that sound plausible in Spanish, because a lot of times you're sitting there thinking of weird words when the answer is something everyday.

Also, if I've gone like three attempts without progress, I switch my approach completely instead of sticking with the same logic - that kills your patience way less.
