NYT Connections Sports Edition today: Hints and answers for September 21, 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.
Today's Connections: Sports Edition is easier for those familiar with Maryland. This New York Times word game, in partnership with The Athletic, challenges sports enthusiasts to find connections between 16 words, grouped into four categories. Each grouping consists of four words that share a common theme. The categories, color-coded from yellow (easiest) to purple, are Distinction, DC Schools, USMNT All-Time Leading Goal Scorers, and Wagner.
After grouping the words correctly, they are removed from the board. Players are given up to four incorrect attempts before the game ends.
