NYT Connections Sports Edition today: Hints and answers for August 18, 2026
Connections: Sports Edition is a New York Times word game about finding common sports threads between words. How to solve the day's puzzle.
Connections: Sports Edition is a daily word game from The New York Times in partnership with The Athletic. Players are presented with 16 words and must group them into four sets based on a common theme. Each puzzle resets after midnight and features increasingly difficult challenges. Players can rearrange and shuffle the board for easier connection spotting.
The game is color-coded, with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Today's game has four categories: Not Winning, Purchases at a Game, Members of the Magnificent Seven, and Ends in a Homophone for Knicks.
