The colors are a clue to the popular Connections puzzle

Though in that case, instead of needing to identify the connections, we are given the connected words and need to determine that associated rule that links them. (ordered below by Straightforward -> Tricky based on color)

| GROUP 1 | GROUP 2 | GROUP 3 | GROUP 4 |
| ------- | ------- | ------- | ------- |
| ARK     | FINLET  | CHIVY   | BASK    |
| CRATE   | PRY     | MICE    | CANYON  |
| LUCK    | SAFE    | MILL    | OLD     |
| TARN    | SPLAY   | SANE    | POINT   |

Each word can have a letter changed to make it fit a category with the rest of the words in the group once a letter is changed in all.  For example CRATE can change T -> N to make CRANE which is a type of bird to fit the Group 1 category.

| BIRDS     | END IN "AY" SOUND | SPICES/HERBS | +"BALL" WORDS |
| --------- | ----------------- | ------------ | ------------- |
| A**U**K   | **C**AFE          | CHIV**E**    | BAS**E**      |
| CRA**N**E | FI**L**LET        | **D**ILL     | CAN**N**ON    |
| **D**UCK  | P**A**Y           | M**A**CE     | O**D**D       |
| T**E**RN  | SP**R**AY         | SA**G**E     | P**A**INT     |

with the lists but in alphabetical order after the changes and reading the new letters in each group the final answer can be extracted of **UNDECLARED AGENDA**
