Would a wet tile saw with a diamond blade cut glass subway tile? It's about 3/16 thick. Scoring and nipping did not work nor did a diamond blade on my 4 inch grinder. Just busted the tile.

Yes. I just cut some on a house I flipped last year. Go slow. I have the HF 10" tile saw. Works great.
You could get by with a standard diamond blade, however I would suggest a true glass cutting blade. I paid around 40-50$ for mine and it worked great . If you already have the diamond blade try that with lots of water and see if it works for you. Regardless, lots of water is key for cutting glass tile in my experience. A manual cutter would also work well if you only have a few cuts to make and no strange angles or special cuts. Score and snap.
I am pretty picky about every detail when I do my own work and did not mind spending an extra 40-50$ for a blade to get the best results I could get. Was very happy with the outcome and saved a ton over hiring a contractor.
