What is Connections: Sports Edition? The NYT's latest daily word game, in collaboration with The Athletic, offers sports enthusiasts an engaging way to connect words. It can be enjoyed on any web browser or mobile device, as players aim to group four words that share a common theme.

Each puzzle consists of 16 words, organized into four distinct categories. These categories may include book titles, software, country names, and more. While several words might seem like they belong together, only one arrangement is correct. If you successfully identify all four words in a category, those words are removed from the board. However, each incorrect guess counts as a mistake, and players are allowed up to four mistakes before the game concludes.

Players can rearrange and shuffle the board to help identify connections more easily. Each grouping is color-coded: yellow being the simplest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Just like Wordle, you can share your results with friends.
