Connections Sports Edition #344: What you need to know
Connections Sports Edition, a sporty twist on a beloved word game, challenges players to spot the common threads linking 16 words arranged on a board. Like the standard Connections, players group words into four categories, each sharing a single link. The board is color-coded to indicate difficulty, with yellow being the easiest and purple the most challenging. You can rearrange the board to spot patterns, and you’ll lose a life if you guess incorrectly (up to four mistakes per puzzle). The puzzle resets daily, so there’s a fresh challenge every day.
