Today’s NYT ‘Connections’ Hints And Answers For Monday, July 15

In Connections, the color coding is determined by the four distinct categories that the 16 words are divided into1. Each category corresponds to a specific color: yellow for straightforward and easy, green for potentially unfamiliar terms or trivia, blue for potentially unfamiliar terms or trivia, and purple for the trickiest category to guess1. The colors help players organize and identify the different groups of words based on their connections.
