The latest edition of Connections: Sports Edition challenges players with its unique word groupings, featuring a mix of categories that include collectibles and Olympic sports. This puzzle, released by The Athletic, is not available in the NYT Games app but can be accessed through The Athletic's platform or played for free online.
Today's hints help guide participants through the four distinct groups. The yellow category focuses on items you save, while the green category pertains to types of wrestling. The blue group highlights Toronto pitchers, and the tricky purple group requires players to think alphabetically to uncover hidden connections.
The answers for today's groups include: for yellow, the theme is memento with answers like collectible and keepsake; for green, the theme is types of wrestling featuring arm and freestyle; for blue, the theme involves the Blue Jays, with answers including Clemens and Halladay; and for purple, the answers are based on homophones for letters with terms like batter's eye and blue jay.
