Sports Connections Game Answers and Daily Hints

Are you looking for the latest Sports Connections game answers and daily hints? Discover here the solutions to today's Connections puzzles, along with answers and hints for other popular New York Times games like "Mini Crossword", "Wordle", and "Strands". Today's version of Connections: Sports Edition offers a fun challenge, with the grid featuring a variety of logos. Southerners might find the green category particularly easy. To help solve the puzzle, read on for Sports Connections hints and Today's Connections answers.

The original Connections game, developed and published by The New York Times as part of its games, is a category matching puzzle. Launched on June 12, 2023, during its beta phase, it quickly became the Times' second most popular game after Wordle. The game challenges players to divide a grid of sixteen terms into four groups of four, where the terms in each group belong to a specific category. The difficulty levels for each category vary and are color-coded: Yellow is the easiest, followed by Green, then Blue, and finally Purple as the most difficult, with one category of each difficulty level in every game. For more details on the original Connections game, you can visit its Wikipedia page.

Sports Connections is presented in collaboration between "The Athletic" – the subscription-based sports journalism platform owned by The Times – and New York Times Games. This sports version was launched in a beta phase on September 24, 2024, then officially released on February 9, 2025, coinciding with Super Bowl LIX. This version is not available on the New York Times Games app, but can be played via The Athletic app or for free online. Marc Cooper, managing editor of news at The Athletic, is responsible for writing the Sports Connections puzzles, focusing on sports groupings and including a trivia element in at least one category, while maintaining a wordplay element in the challenging purple category. Special puzzles for all 32 NFL teams were also created in September 2025, coinciding with the start of the 2025 NFL season, and were available throughout the month.
