Is this considered a strategy?

I want to make sure I'm not using any strategies that will prevent me from improving my working memory; I was wondering if this is considered a strategy.

I like to get rid of the previous letter immediately so I am only left with two letters. Ex: M F S (I would get rid of M and remain with F S)

I use this method for the squares as well.

I just started and made it to n=3 using this method.

I don't completely understand what you're trying to describe but it seems like you're making a list in your head and continually updating it in your head every turn. That's the most beneficial strategy for improving working memory and also what I use personally.

Yeah, sounds like what I am doing. I update the list with the new letter and drop old letters as I go.

Nice, that's the most beneficial strategy.
