The answers to today's Quordle, game #850, are…

There are a couple of potentially tricky words to work out here, but overall it's not too bad. MECCA contains a repeated C, which is not common at all, plus people may think it is a proper noun and therefore would not be included. It's a proper noun, of course, but it's a standard noun and therefore justified here. REBEL was the one I fought with; The repeated E doesn't help, but it was the fact that the answer could have easily been REVEL that tripped me up.
