The answers to today’s Quordle, game #971, are…

There aren't many words in Wordle (and therefore Quordle) that contain three of the same letters. My analysis of every Wordle answer shows that there are just 20 of the original 2,309 solutions that contain a triple letter, and of those five have a triple E. EERIE is one of them, and it's a tough word to solve in this game. Fortunately, FRAIL, SPEAR, and VITAL aren't too bad, so assuming you didn't miss too many guesses in EERIE, you should be fine here.
