NEW YORK, USAMon Jan 06 2025
Ever wondered what it's like to solve a sports-themed puzzle? Well, The New York Times has got you covered with their new game, Connections: Sports Edition. Don't let the weird letter groups fool you – these clues can be solved! The game is open for free daily plays while it's still in beta testing. Let's dive into some hints to make your puzzling easier. The yellow group is all about injuries. Think of those things you wear after a hurt – like a brace or a cast. The green group is for baseball fans, focusing on those pesky stats like AB, LOB, WAR, and WHIP. If you love football, the blue group is for you – it's all about NFL stadiums. Ever heard of Allegiant, NRG, SoFi, or Soldier? Lastly, the purple group is for basketball enthusiasts. It's all about the coaches – names like Finch, Lue, Nurse, and Rivers should ring a bell.
