Today’s Connections: Sports Edition puzzle is likely to be easier for baseball fans, but sports enthusiasts across disciplines can use these hints and answers to solve it. The New York Times daily word game challenges players to identify the “common threads between words.”
Like Wordle, Connections resets after midnight, with a new puzzle becoming available each day. The difficulty can increase quickly, so these clues and strategies can help you find the solution without using all four of your mistakes.
If you want to solve the puzzle yourself, use the category hints below. The complete answer to today’s puzzle appears further down.
What is Connections: Sports Edition?
Connections: Sports Edition is a daily word game created by The New York Times in association with The Athletic, the publication’s sports-focused property. It is available on web browsers and mobile devices.
Each puzzle contains 16 words that must be divided into four groups of four words with a shared connection. The categories can cover a wide range of sports-related subjects, and several words may appear to fit together even though only one grouping is correct.
Players can rearrange and shuffle the board to make the connections easier to spot. The categories are color-coded by difficulty: yellow is the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. A correct group is removed from the board, while an incorrect guess counts as a mistake. Players can make up to four mistakes before the game ends.
