Title: How to Engage with the NYT’s Connections: Sports Edition — Plus Today’s Clues and Solutions
Connections: Sports Edition is the newest spin on The New York Times’ beloved word game, crafted specifically for sports enthusiasts. In partnership with The Athletic, this version invites players to uncover shared themes among groups of four words — all with a sporty twist.
Similar to the original Connections and the trending Wordle, the Sports Edition refreshes every day at midnight, presenting a new challenge daily. The complexity escalates as the week moves forward. If you hit a snag, don’t fret — we have hints, strategies, and today’s solutions to assist you.
What Is Connections: Sports Edition?
Connections: Sports Edition is a game accessible via browser and mobile, where participants must categorize 16 words into four sets of four, with every set linked by a common theme. These themes can include Olympic host locations to NFL athletes, and while various words might appear to align, only one combination is right.
Each game allows for up to four errors before it concludes. Words are color-coded based on their difficulty: yellow (easiest), green, blue, and purple (hardest). Players have the option to shuffle the board to better identify patterns, and once a group is accurately recognized, those words vanish from the board.
Much like Wordle, you can share your scores on social media to display your puzzle-solving skills.
