Maybe this takes the fun out of it, but with Quordle, I've had great success with:

TUBES

FLING

CHAMP

WORDY

With those, I've always completed all four...

I find it quite easy to beat Quordle so the challenge I aim for is trying to get all four words within six guesses. Managed it three times since yesterday. Requires some riskier tactics so it eventually broke my 30+ game streak.
I see you played the same meta-game that I did. It took me a few tries, but I ended up with: WHISK, FRONT, GLADE, BUMPY.

Probably not in the spirit of the game, but once you have 20 distinct letters, it is normally quite easy to find the solution.

Mine are SHIRT, WOMEN, BLACK, PUDGY. I like that order as it hits most of the high-frequency letters up front to enable the odd early snipe.
Well if we're sharing mine are: SPINE, WORLD, THUMB, and JACKY.
Mine are ANGST, PERKY, CHILD and JUMBO. It's interesting how many sets of 4 words with disjoint letters are out there. It took me quite a while to come up with my set, somehow I didn't realize there would be so many other sets that work equally well.
I just start with ANISE and go from there.
I have less fun with that sort of strategy (I like hard mode in Wordle). But in this variant I find it exceedingly difficult if I don't employ this sort of strategy.
