CE closes a five letter word with a soft C sound, and Wordle players confirm the pair once both tiles turn green. Those letters fix the last two positions, so the 5 letter words ending in CE leave the opening three unsolved.
N before the ending does more work than any other letter here. It gives you Dance, Fence, Hence, Lance, Mince, Ounce and Since, which means an N guess in the third position tests a wide part of the field in a single try.
There are 61 five letter words ending in CE. Since, Place, Force, Price and Voice are the strongest Wordle guesses because none of them repeat a letter. N in the middle position opens 20 of these words, more than any other letter.
