NYT Connections Sports Edition today: Hints and answers for August 25, 2026

Connections: Sports Edition is a daily word game from The New York Times, now in partnership with The Athletic. This variant, similar to the popular word game Wordle, tasks players with identifying common connections among a set of 16 words. Each correct grouping of four words is removed from the board, and players have four incorrect guesses before the game ends.

The game features four color-coded categories, ranging from easy yellow to challenging purple. Today's categories are: an AFC North player, European cities that have hosted Olympics since 2000, Champions League winners, and New York Giants. The solution for today's Connections: Sports Edition #701 is: An AFC North Player - BENGAL, BROWN, RAVEN, STEELER; European Cities to Host Olympics, Since 2000 - LONDON, MILAN, PARIS, TURIN; Champions League Winners - AJAX, JUVENTUS, PORTO, REAL MADRID; New York Giants - BURNS, DART, HOLLAND, LIKELY.

Three things I got wrong measuring my own cache

A team that produces regulatory documents kept getting the same kind of question from other teams: does the current rule allow X?

  • Overlooked issue with negation pairs, labeling error not caught by testing
  • Control group too easy, minimal token differences between accept/reject pairs
  • Misinterpreted embedder failure as semantics issue, not surface form understanding
