What is Connections: Sports Edition?
The latest NYT daily word game, created with The Athletic, challenges players to group four related words. Each puzzle has 16 words divided into four categories, with only one correct answer. Matching all four words correctly removes them from the board, while mistakes (up to four) end the game. Players can rearrange the board to help find connections, and share results on social media like Wordle.
