A "scowl" is a grumpy grimace, and "scow" is the 4-letter base of "scowl" — but more precisely, "scow" itself isn't standard. However, "MOUE" (a pouting grimace) or "POUT" fit better. Actually, "SCOWL" is 5 letters. Let me reconsider: a grumpy grimace of exactly 4 letters is most likely "MOUE" (a grimace) or "POUT." "MOUE" is a crossword favorite for a grimace/pout.
