NYT Connections Sports Edition today: Hints and answers for September 7, 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, that tests sports knowledge. Players are presented with 16 words grouped into four categories, with only one correct grouping per category possible. The game resets each midnight and becomes progressively more challenging.
Today's categories include NHL teams on scoreboards, fantasy football positions, US Open men's singles winners, and junior athletes. Players can rearrange and shuffle the board, and it's color-coded from yellow (easiest) to purple (hardest). If all four words in a category are correctly guessed, they are removed from the game. Players have up to four mistakes before the game ends.
You can share your results on social media like Wordle. For those struggling, a hint was provided for today's categories: NHL teams, fantasy roster spots, Grand Slam winners, and JR.
