The New York Times has introduced a new game called Connections: Sports Edition, featuring an all-graphic game grid with images of athletes. The game is currently in beta testing to determine its popularity before potentially adding it to the site’s Games app. Players can currently play for free on a daily basis and will have to wait and see if the game becomes a permanent feature.
In today’s puzzle, there are two images of athletes that players need to identify. The game provides hints for groupings within the puzzle, ranging from easy to challenging. The yellow group hints at speed, the green group focuses on singular soccer teams, the blue group features NFL career yards leaders among tight ends, and the purple group highlights New York athletes. Players need to correctly identify the athletes in each group to complete the puzzle.
For the yellow group, the theme is fast, with answers like brisk, rapid, swift, and zippy. The green group focuses on MLS teams, with answers like Earthquake, Sounder, Timber, and Whitecap in singular form. The blue group highlights NFL career yards leaders among tight ends, with answers like Gates, Gonzalez, Kelce, and Witten.
