NYT Connections Sports hints & answers
The sports-only spin on Connections: same four-group format, all athletics, all the time. Today's hints, an evergreen guide to the format, and a running archive of past puzzle numbers. Nothing spoils until you tap it.
How Connections Sports Edition works
Same skeleton as the original Connections, but every word pool comes from the sports world: leagues, players, terms, and trivia. You get 16 words sorted into 4 hidden groups of 4, each with its own difficulty, and a handful of words designed to tempt you into the wrong group.
Four wrong guesses and you're locked out for the day, so it pays to start with the group you're most sure of. Our daily page walks through each group with a gentle hint before showing any words.
