EMCEE is that rare word that contains three of the same letters. I don’t have details for every Quordle answer to say just how uncommon that is, but myanalysis of every Wordle answer– which is likely to be very similar to the details for Quordle – shows that it happens a mere 20 times in the game’s 2,309 original solutions. So, very rare.

Ironically, I solved EMCEE without any issues, but lost a guess on PURGE; for some reason I guessed PUREE first. That proved to be very helpful, though, because even though it was wrong, it gave me the double-E at the end of EMCEE. Lucky!
