The Athletic Launches 'Connections: Sports Edition' Baseball Word Game
The Athletic, a New York Times sports coverage platform, presents 'Connections: Sports Edition', a baseball-themed word game that challenges players' knowledge of the sport. Today's edition features 16 words across four categories, each color-coded for difficulty. Players aim to guess all four words in each category correctly to remove them from the board. They have up to four mistakes before the game ends. The categories in today's game are Purchases at a Baseball Game, Pitching Stats, World Series MVPs, and High-Arching Baseball Plays. Notable World Series MVPs include Francisco Lindor and historic figures like Duke Snider, but for a comprehensive list, players should consult official MLB records. The game, accessible on web browsers and mobile devices, is similar to Wordle, focusing on finding common threads between words. Incorrect guesses do not count as mistakes, allowing players to strategize and improve their guesses. 'Connections: Sports Edition' offers baseball enthusiasts a challenging and engaging word game. With its unique categories and color-coded difficulty levels, players can test their baseball knowledge and enjoy a fresh take on word games.
