CHORE
FENCE
NIECE

After 2, I saw all the -NCE words: FENCE, PENCE, MINCE, WINCE, and even DUNCE. The two -INCE words had already been used, so I went with FENCE. It wasn’t the solution, of course, but it narrowed it down to NIECE which I hadn’t seen earlier.

Wordlebot wisdom

And it was extraordinarily lucky today. You’ve eliminated all but three of the words in my dictionary:

NIECE
FIEND

or

SKEIN

8490

If you’d picked niece or fiend first, it would have given you the placement of the ie (or ei) and your max would have been 4, not 5.

Another par.
I thought about NIECE at three, but didn’t want to double an unused letter. You just never know in this game.
