Connections #1220, edited by Wyna Liu, runs from discernment in yellow to loose ___ in purple.

Today's board, solved

All four groups

How today's puzzle plays

Yellow — DISCERNMENT: EYE, FLAIR, SENSE, TASTE.

Green — FASTEN: HITCH, LASH, TETHER, TIE.

Blue — SPORTS CHAMPIONSHIP PRIZES: BELT, CUP, JACKET, RING.

Purple — LOOSE ___: CANNON, CHANGE, ENDS, LIPS.

The purple title has a blank in it, so each purple word completes the phrase LOOSE ___ rather than sharing a meaning.

Purple groups often depend on how a word is spelled or what it completes, so read the leftovers as letters, not meanings.
