I needed all nine guesses to solve today's Quordle, and both LEAVE and GOOFY gave me some trouble. Both contain repeated letters and both are relatively uncommon letters, not In fact uncommon, like X, Z, Q, and J, but on a higher level. In fact, GOOFY has two; F and G appear fairly frequently in specific places within words, but are not common overall. V, meanwhile, is the fifth least common letter of all.
