The first task today was to ignore the very obvious collection of water types (SPRING, STILL and PERRIER) placed tantalizingly along the first row of tiles.
Fortunately I managed to resist and saw that I STILL had some companions in STATIC, STATIONARY and CONSTANT.
After getting the green group and with PERRIER still in play, I deduced that it must have something to do with the word rather than what it represented, but it was pronouncing NOODLE and DUSKY that helped me find all the DOGS WITH THE FIRST LETTER CHANGED; Terrier was the breed that hid under the guise of French soda water.

What are NYT connections?
NYT Connections is one of the increasingly popular word games created by the New York Times. It challenges you to find groups of four items that share something in common, and each group has a different difficulty level: green is easy, yellow is a little harder, blue is usually quite difficult, and purple is usually very difficult.
On the plus side, you don’t technically need to solve the final question since you’ll be able to answer it through a process of elimination. What’s more, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little breathing room.
However, it’s a little more complicated than something like Wordle and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to trip you up with tricks. For example, be careful with homophones and other puns that could disguise answers.
It can be played for free via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile devices.
