What is Connections Sports Edition?

The *NYT*’s newest daily word game, launched in collaboration with *The Athletic*, is accessible on web browsers and mobile devices. Participants must categorize four words that share a connection. Each puzzle comprises 16 words segmented into four classifications, which could encompass book titles, software, country names, etc. While several words may appear related, there is only one accurate answer.

Successfully identifying all four words within a category eliminates them from the board. Incorrect choices are counted as errors, with players permitted up to four errors before the game concludes. Players can rearrange and shuffle the board to easily identify connections. Each grouping is color-coded: yellow is the simplest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like *Wordle*, you may share your achievements on social media.
