Connections: Sports Edition is a fresh iteration of the well-known New York Times word challenge designed to assess the knowledge of sports enthusiasts.
Like the original Connections, the game emphasizes uncovering “shared themes among words.” Similar to Wordle, Connections refreshes at midnight, with each subsequent set of words providing greater difficulty—thus, we’ve included several hints and tips to assist you.

What is Connections Sports Edition?
The NYT‘s newest daily word game is launched in partnership with The Athletic, the New York Times’ sports journalism outlet. Connections is available on web browsers and mobile devices, requiring participants to categorize four words connected by a common theme.
Every puzzle features 16 words segmented into four categories. These groups can include anything from book titles to software or country names. While many words may appear related, only one right answer exists.
<pWhen a player successfully organizes all four words in a category, those words are eliminated from the board. An incorrect guess is counted as a misstep—players may make up to four missteps before the game concludes.
Players can shift and rearrange the board to identify connections more effortlessly. Plus, each group is color-coded, with yellow being the simplest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Just like in Wordle, you can share your results with friends via social media.
