Why this answer
The letters, categories, or grid logic that made this one tricky.
What made this one tricky:
- FENCE: repeats E.
FENCE has one vowel, E, in the second and fifth positions. The repeated vowel is separated by the consonant run NC, so a solver who sees the early E can easily chase the wrong ending. The C is the least common letter in the word and often becomes the decisive placement. As a noun, a fence is a boundary; as a verb, it can mean enclosing an area or trafficking stolen property.

A useful solve path
Once F and the first E are placed, test endings that preserve a second E rather than spending a guess on a new vowel. Checking C before assuming a more common consonant can break the remaining pattern quickly.
