Today's board hides its purple group behind ___ dogs (that aren't dogs) — the yellow set, flabbergast, is the anchor.

Today's board, solved

All four groups

Yellow
FLABBERGAST
DAZZLE, FLOOR, STUN, WOW
Green
THINGS IN A VIOLIN CASE
BOW, MUTE, ROSIN, SHOULDER REST
Blue
___ DOGS (THAT ARE DOGS)
HUNTING, RESCUE, SAUSAGE, SHEEP
Purple
___ DOGS (THAT AREN'T DOGS)
CORN, PRAIRIE, SALTY, TOP

How today's puzzle plays

The easiest route is to clear FLABBERGAST first, then look for what's left over rather than hunting the purple group head-on.

Purple today — ___ DOGS (THAT AREN'T DOGS) — is about how the words are built, not what they mean.

When two words feel interchangeable, the board is telling you one of them is a decoy.
