How to play Connections: Sports Edition
The rules are pretty much the same as the normal game. You are given 16 words and asked to put them into four groups that are connected in some way. The main difference is that all words and categories have some kind of sports link. Sometimes the categories seem obvious, but the game tries to trick you by using sports-related words that can fit into more than one group. And the four groups of words have different levels of difficulty. Yellow is the easiest and purple is the hardest, but you won’t know which color group it is until you solve the puzzle.
But you don’t have to be a sports fanatic to solve Connections: Sports Edition, although it helps to know a little about a bunch of different sports and athletes. Words can include player names, team names, or sports-related activities.
