Background & guide
Catching up on the week
Seven days of Connections Sports Edition, newest first, each with its four groups laid out in difficulty order. This is the fastest way back in after a few days away - you can see at a glance which puzzles you would have got and which ones were built to catch you.
What a week shows that a day does not
Read consecutively, the editorial rhythm shows: which sports came up, how often purple leaned on wordplay rather than knowledge, and how many categories needed a specialist to spot. If one sport keeps beating you, that is the gap to close.
Anything older than a week lives in the archive, one page per year.
Frequently asked questions
How often does this page update?
Daily. A new puzzle is added at the top at midnight New York time and the eighth-oldest drops off into the archive.
Are the full sixteen words shown for each day?
Yes. Each day is shown with all four groups and all sixteen words, sorted from the yellow group to purple.
