Quordle today (game #852) - the answers

The answers to today's Quordle, game #852, are…

CREST
SLICK
RATTY
SPURT

This is a fairly standard Quordle, all told. The repeated T in RATTY is the only real complication, and all four words are relatively common. There are no truly uncommon letters, either – although K is not that likely to appear in general, it's rather common at the end of a word. RATTY was the only quadrant I 'lost' a guess on following my three set start words, meaning I solved this Quordle in eight, with one spare.
