The New York Times has released a sports-themed version of its popular word puzzle game, and today’s edition may prove particularly rewarding for basketball enthusiasts. Connections: Sports Edition launched in partnership with The Athletic, the Times’ sports content division, and presents players with 16 words that must be grouped into four related categories.
Similar to the original Connections game, participants work to identify common themes linking sets of four words. The puzzle features a color-coded difficulty system, with yellow representing the easiest category and purple being the most challenging. Players have up to four incorrect guesses before the game ends. Today’s puzzle #707 includes categories centered on basketball coaching, synonyms for inexperienced, phrases that follow “hot,” and names that precede “Thompson.”
For those struggling with the August 31 edition, the solutions reveal four distinct groupings: words meaning inexperienced, current NBA head coaches, terms that can follow “hot,” and surnames of notable Thompsons. The game resets daily at midnight and can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices, with results shareable on social media platforms.
