  "account": "Connections: Sports Edition is a new 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 of four, each set sharing a common connection. The game is divided into four categories, each color-coded: yellow (easiest), green, blue, and purple (hardest).\n\nFor today's Connections: Sports Edition, the categories are as follows: Yellow: A Philadelphia Athlete (76ER, EAGLE, FLYER, PHILLIE), Green: Ways to Show Standings in Different Sports (LEADERBOARD, RANKINGS, STANDINGS, TABLE), Blue: U.S Open Golf Winners (ELS, KITE, STRANGE, WOODLAND), and Purple: Brand Names Often Used as Generic Terms (FRISBEE, JET SKI, JUMBOTRON, SPEEDO).\n\nPlayers can share their results on social media and get up to four mistakes before the game ends. Tomorrow, there will be new sports Connections for players to test their knowledge.",
