How to play Connections: Sports Edition
Select four words you think share a connection and press Submit. A correct group is revealed with its category; a wrong one costs one of your four mistakes.
Groups are color-coded by difficulty, from yellow (most straightforward) to purple (trickiest). Categories can cover teams, players, positions, stadiums, sports terms and wordplay.
Connections: Sports EditionTips & Strategies
- Look for words that could belong to more than one sport; they're often the red herrings.
- Think beyond the obvious sport: a word might be a team nickname, a stat or a nickname for a player.
- Solve the group you're most confident about first to shrink the board.
- The purple group often relies on wordplay, like hidden words or words that complete a phrase.
- Use the shuffle button to break up misleading clusters of words.
