Solution:

#### First Group:
Words: at, sad, had, shut

1. Analyze the sounds:
- at: The "a" in "at" makes the short /æ/ sound (as in "cat").
- sad: The "a" in "sad" also makes the short /æ/ sound.
- had: The "a" in "had" makes the short /æ/ sound.
- shut: The "u" in "shut" makes the short /ʊ/ sound (as in "but").

2. Identify the outlier:
- All the words except "shut" have the short /æ/ sound. "Shut" has a different vowel sound (/ʊ/).

3. Circle the word:
- The word that does not have the same sound is shut.

#### Second Group:
Words: accident, racing, icicle, inside, civil, excite, city, excite

1. Analyze the sounds:
- accident: The "i" in "accident" makes the short /ɪ/ sound (as in "sit").
- racing: The "i" in "racing" makes the long /aɪ/ sound (as in "my").
- icicle: The "i" in "icicle" makes the long /aɪ/ sound.
- inside: The "i" in "inside" makes the long /aɪ/ sound.
- civil: The "i" in "civil" makes the short /ɪ/ sound.
- excite: The "i" in "excite" makes the long /aɪ/ sound.
- city: The "i" in "city" makes the short /ɪ/ sound.
- excite: The "i" in "excite" makes the long /aɪ/ sound.

2. Identify the outlier:
- The words "racing," "icicle," "inside," "excite," and "excite" all have the long /aɪ/ sound.
- The words "accident," "civil," and "city" all have the short /ɪ/ sound.
- Since the question asks for the word that does not have the same sound as the others, we need to identify the word with the short /ɪ/ sound among the long /aɪ/ sound words or vice versa.
- Here, "accident" is the only word with the short /ɪ/ sound among the long /aɪ/ sound words.

3. Circle the word:
- The word that does not have the same sound is accident.
