**What is Connections Sports Edition?**

The latest daily word game from *NYT* debuts in collaboration with *The Athletic*, the sports reporting branch of the New York Times. *Connections* can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices, challenging players to arrange four words that are connected.

Each puzzle comprises 16 words, classified into four groups. These groups may include anything from the names of books to software or countries. Although many words might appear to connect, there’s only one accurate combination.

When a player successfully identifies all four words in a group, those words are taken off the board. Incorrect guesses are counted as errors—players can have up to four mistakes before the game concludes.

Players have the option to rearrange and shuffle the board to assist in discovering connections more easily. Moreover, each group is designated a color: yellow denotes the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Similar to *Wordle*, you can share your outcomes with friends on social media.
