Full answers for July 15
Spoilers below: the complete groups and words are listed here.
| Color | Category | Words |
|---|---|---|
| Yellow | REGARD AS TRUE | ACCEPT, BELIEVE, BUY, TRUST |
| Green | FACADE | BLUFF, FRONT, SHAM, SHOW |
| Blue | WAYS TO SECURE A TV | BASE, BRACKET, MOUNT, STAND |
| Purple | LIQUOR BOTTLE SIZES | FIFTH, HANDLE, LITER, PINT |
Why the groupings can be tricky
BASE is the tempting overlap: it can evoke a bottle size, but in this puzzle it belongs with the ways to secure a television. BRACKET and MOUNT make that category literal, alongside BASE and STAND. The other groups use senses of words associated with believing something, a facade, and liquor measurements.

Connections divides sixteen words into four groups of four. Its categories are color-coded yellow, green, blue, and purple, from the most straightforward grouping to the most difficult; misleading overlaps and wordplay can make a plausible set of four a red herring. TechRadar rated this puzzle “Moderate,” an editorial assessment rather than a measured difficulty statistic.
