NYT's Connections Sports: Midnight Puzzle Challenges Fans
The New York Times' Connections Sports Edition presents a new word game challenge. Today's puzzle, live at midnight, requires arranging 16 words into four groups of four based on their connections. The game, also known as a 'wordle for news', is free and offers hints and answers for assistance.
The categories are color-coded, with yellow being the easiest and purple the most difficult. Today's 'crazy games' include words like RATTLE, SHAKE, FIELD, and TARGETS. One correct answer for each group is: SHAKE for yellow, YARDS for green, FIELD for blue, and WAR for purple. The hints for today's categories are: 'throw the opposition off their game', 'numbers for Calvin Johnson, Randy Moss and Jerry Rice', 'venue, colloquially', and 'gridiron decision-makers cut short'. The name of the NFL quarterback represented by the purple connections, with the last letter of his name removed, is 'Mahom'.
Incorrect guesses result in losing a life, with a maximum of four mistakes allowed. Solve the puzzle and test your sports knowledge. The game is available on the NYT website.
