I totally understand your today. I fully thought you might get it in four today, because I struggled, and fell into a trap, with just a small spoon to dig my way out. So, when you don't always see a word, then I don't feel so bad that it happens to me, sometimes. I am glad you got out with a five as well. That does make me happy, as did my second guess, as it seemed easy then. :) ratio-embed-pence-fence-hence was my chain today.
When I see you have a hard time, Doug, then I don't feel as bad as a newbie when I struggle, like this week. But I tried to get ahead of it this time, if I could, before I got tripped up. I started with 'Ratio' - nothing, but I was prepared. Then went with 'Clues'. Gave me the C & E. I figure at this point, there were 2 E's, and every time I thought of a 3rd word, it had one of the letters already discounted. Thought of emcee, but I didn't dare take a risk like that unless I knew there was an M, because I've been burned before doing that. Then 'Fence' came to me, which obviously lead me to 'Hence'. So, did a par 4 today. I like your 'Smart' word for tomorrow, Doug! Let's go!!
Doug, I also found this one to be tedious. Audio, steer, belle, fence, hence. I was able to identify the double e in short order, but then had a hard time deciding what to do with it.
You were making me sweat, Doug. I kept thinking “try ‘n’ “. After stare and doily gave me only “e”, I thought of fence, hence, pence, penne, queue (already used), and venue. So I used “chuff”. So a “4” for me today. starE- doily- CHuff- HENCE
Super amusing episode! Lucky Doug was not playing in hard mode. Neither was I but I paid the price for doggedly trying to test every vowel and then overlooked hence initially for fence. POINT, RANGE, DUNCE, FENCE, HENCE. Not quite as agonising five for me as for Doug!
I've never heard of Leche so wouldn't have used it. Someone else mentions using Leche as a guess today. Google says it's Spanish for Milk. My knowledge of Spanish is sadly lacking.
Good solve, Doug! I've had the same kind of week, so I get it. I did do a little better today than the last few days, and I managed to pull this one out in four instead of five. (While I didn't get the good night's sleep I had hoped for last night, I did get a decent nap with no interruptions this afternoon, and I'm sure that helped!)

I'm pretty happy to save par today after my starting combo of STARE and DOILY gave me only one letter. This led me to use my go-to third word in that situation, BUNCH. Talk about a silver platter. The obvious HENCE came next. From start to finish, this one probably took less than two minutes.
Steak, fried, plume. I play in hard mode every day. After 3 guesses I had the e in position. Looking at the unused letters I went with bocce. Now with only the ce at the end the only word that would fit was hence. Took a while to find it.
@@christinaforte746 Thanks ! Believe it or not, occasionally I just think To Hell With It. I'm just gonna play it how I feel. So I tried tried possible solutions although I didn't want to lose so I was somewhat careful. Haha !

As to the word heche that Doug thought he knew - I can only suggest Anne Heche the ( late ) actress.
RATIO - FUSED - CHECK - BENCH - HENCE
RATIO, SPEND, LUNGE, HENCE
At one point you mentioned plurals, it cant be the answer but I think its super useful as eval words sometimes.

I thought ratio would give us something, but got nothing. From there I tried suede, Leche, and got it: hence
I've never heard of Leche so wouldn't have used it.
Someone else mentions using Leche as a guess today.
Google says it's Spanish for Milk.
My knowledge of Spanish is sadly lacking.

Lesson: we let our brains get locked in too long
Great game! It’s ok to struggle.
Doug my first word got no letters but that was a good thing it eliminated a lot of wrong letters, which helped me solve the wordle .
audio, fleet, sense, henge, hence
LOL, I was screaming at the screen a few times there. Couldn't believe you didn't see the "N" there for so long.
Good solve, Doug! I've had the same kind of week, so I get it. I did do a little better today than the last few days, and I managed to pull this one out in four instead of five.

As evals they did help determine the next guess.
