The answers to today’s Quordle, game #848, are…

NUDGE
OVINE
STRIP
TABOO

A couple of today’s Quordle puzzles might tax the brain a little more than usual. OVINE is not a particularly common word and may not spring readily to mind, while TABOO has an unusual structure with a repeated O at the end of the word. I spent a good five minutes trying to solve the latter, but otherwise got off lightly here, with my start word strategy again doing a lot of the hard work.
