Ways to tell them apart:
Inclose and enclose are archaic and modern forms of the same word, respectively.
Remember that enclose is the preferred modern spelling in both British and American English.

In modern usage, particularly in writing, enclose is the word you will almost always see.
The prefix en- typically indicates to put in or into, which helps in aligning it with modern conventions.
