Today’s installment of Connections: Sports Edition, #394, combines baseball statistics with the excitement of word games, offering fans a fun puzzle experience. This interactive game from The New York Times, developed in association with The Athletic, aims to engage sports enthusiasts by challenging them to identify common themes among a set of words.
Similar to the original Connections game, which revolves around finding linked words, the Sports Edition requires players to group 16 provided words into four categories. Each category can encompass various topics, including famous athletes, team names, and other sports-related lingo. Players have the opportunity to arrange the words creatively to discern connections, with mistaken guesses counting against a player’s total allowances.
For today’s puzzle, players can take advantage of color-coded clues, ranging from yellow, which is the simplest, to purple, adding layers of challenge. If you are looking for specific hints, here are the categories for today’s connections:
– Yellow: New York Basketball Teams
– Green: Last Four NBA Champions

– Purple: Found in NBA Team Logos
