Pronunciation & Spelling
None of these words rhymes exactly with congruence /ˈkɒŋɡruəns/ because the stress falls on the first syllable and the consonant clusters differ. Influence, affluence, and confluence all end in /fluəns/ and rhyme with one another; their final /uəns/ is close to the /ɡruəns/ of congruence, but not an exact rhyme. Sequence, consequence, and eloquence are spelling lookalikes ending in -ence, but their pronunciations /ˈsiːkwəns/, /ˈkɒnsɪkwəns/, and /ˈeləkwəns/ are clearly different.
