There are many ways to solve the Connections puzzle, but you will have to see past the bluffs the editor puts in the puzzles to confuse you. The words are oftentimes purposely misleading and many times look like they belong to other categories. Today, there are a few of these words, but fortunately, we have all the answers and tips you need to solve the puzzle.
Once you finish off the Connections puzzle for today, you will want to look at the NYT Tiles game and search for any misdirection there as well. In it, you have to match the correct images to their pair, keeping up the streak as best you can to make a high score. There will be challenges, but they are quite different from the ones in Connections and offer a nice change of pace.

ACCEPT |
BELIEVE |
BUY |
TRUST |
This one was fairly easy to ACCEPT, as most of the words had to do with TRUST and there were not many other words that could fit in that category. BUY was the biggest outlier and it still was fairly easy to put it in with the rest. Interestingly, despite that this was the third category we solved.

BLUFF |
FRONT |
SHAM |
SHOW |
The words putting up a FRONT actually did mean to put up a “Facade” today. BLUFF and SHAM stood out amongst the other words, and trying to guess what other words belonged was easier once we had that definition in mind. SHOW was the last one to make it in, but that was mostly because we saw FRONT first. This was the second category we solved today.

BASE |
BRACKET |
MOUNT |
STAND |
This was actually the first category we guessed today. BASE, BRACKET, and MOUNT were all fairly standard nouns that made us look a little closer, and STAND was identifiable as something similar once we had that in mind. We were a little surprised that this was as far down as it was, but maybe that is because the category seems a lot more specific than it had to be.

HANDLE |
LITER |
PINT |
This was our last category and therefore a little easier than it could have been. All of them being sizes and nothing else having a measurement attached to it did help, and that would have been the thing to look for if you were trying to solve this before having anything else. However, we would not have guessed that these were all specifically liquor-related, as these sizes can refer to other bottled products.
