Tips

register
Literary; everyday Chinese uses 计谋 or 策略.

Components

讠 yán
speech; words
讠 is the speech radical, a left-side form of 言, since strategy and counsel are delivered through words.
phonetic
莫 mò
do not; none
莫 supplies the sound, with the tone shifting from 莫 to 谟; it is the same phonetic in 模 and 膜.
