Why the words belong together

Changing only the first letter of DOGGY, MATURATED, TRENCHED and TRIPPING produces four words associated with being thoroughly wet.

BROTHERLY, PUPPY, SELF and UNREQUITED each form an established expression when followed by the shared word LOVE.

BICUSPID, CANINE, INCISOR and MOLAR directly name kinds of teeth, making this the board’s most literal category.

FIEND, HEAD, HOUND and LOVER can each label a person who is especially keen on, devoted to or preoccupied with something.
