Connections: Sports Edition
is a new version of the popular New York Times word game that tests the knowledge of sports fans. Just like the original Connections and Wordle, this game resets daily with trickier words each time.
What is Connections Sports Edition?
The NYT‘s latest daily word game, in partnership with The Athletic, challenges players to group four words that have something in common. Each puzzle presents 16 words split into four categories, requiring players to identify the correct grouping to progress.
Here’s a hint for today’s Categories
If you need a little push without the actual categories, try these hints:
– Yellow: Negative pattern
– Green: Terms in a water sport
– Blue: Colleges near the Big Apple
– Purple: Sounds like they play basketball
Today’s Categories
For those who need more help, today’s categories are:
– Yellow: Downturn
– Green: Surfing terms
– Blue: New York colleges
– Purple: Homophones of NBA player names
The solution to today’s Connections Sports Edition #135 is…
– Downturn: DECLINE, PLUNGE, SKID, SLUMP
– Surfing terms: BARREL, CREST, SWELL, WAVE
– New York colleges: COLGATE, COLUMBIA, ST. JOHN’S, SYRACUSE
