What is Connections: Sports Edition?<\/h2>\n

Connections: Sports Edition is\u00a0The Athletic<\/em>\u2019s first-ever game, a daily puzzle designed for players to find connections<\/em> between 16 words on the game board.<\/p>\n

The game\u2019s objective is to group words or objects into four groups of four based on commonalities within each group as quickly as possible. Find the groups without making four mistakes. Each puzzle has exactly one solution, so watch out for words or items that seem to belong to multiple categories!<\/p>\n

Category examples:
Sports ____ :<\/strong> Fan, Car, Bar, Radio
U.S. Summer Olympians:<\/strong> Biles, Phelps, Ledecky, Lyles<\/p>\n

Each category group is assigned a color, revealed as you solve, ranging from straightforward (yellow) to medium (green) to challenging (blue) to tricky (purple).<\/p>\n

Who creates the puzzles for Connections: Sports Edition?<\/h2>\n

That\u2019s me! My name is Mark Cooper, and I create Connections: Sports Edition and work as a managing editor for college sports here at\u00a0The Athletic<\/em>. I was previously\u00a0The Athletic<\/em>\u2019s managing editor for breaking news.<\/p>\n

The next puzzle will be available at midnight in your time zone. Thanks for playing \u2014 and share your scores in the comments!\n<\/p><\/div>\n
