Connections: Sports Edition #737 Hints and Answers
Today’s Connections: Sports Edition puzzle may be more approachable for people familiar with BMX racing. The New York Times sports word game, launched in association with The Athletic, challenges players to identify “common threads between words” by organizing 16 entries into four groups of four.
Connections: Sports Edition is available on web browsers and mobile devices. Each puzzle contains four categories, but several words may appear to fit together, leaving players to determine the single correct arrangement. A correct group is removed from the board, while an incorrect guess counts toward the player’s limit of four mistakes.
