Everything you need for Connections Sports Edition #560.
Today’s Connections: Sports Edition is for those who enjoy college football on New Year’s. This version of the New York Times word game tests sports fans’ knowledge. The game involves finding “common threads between words,” similar to Wordle. Connections resets after midnight, and each new set of words becomes more challenging. Below are hints and strategies to help.
What is Connections: Sports Edition?
The NYT’s daily word game, in association with The Athletic, challenges players to group four words with commonality. It features 16 words divided into four categories, e.g., book titles, software, country names, etc. Each correct set is removed from the board; incorrect guesses count as mistakes, with up to four mistakes allowed.
Players can shuffle the board for easier connections. Groups are color-coded: yellow (easiest), green, blue, and purple. Results can be shared on social media.
