What is the Format of Connections: Sports Edition?

The sports version of Connections is accessible on both web browsers and mobile devices, requiring players to categorize four words that share a common theme.

Each puzzle consists of 16 words, divided into four distinct categories. These categories could include anything from book titles to software names or country designations. Although many words may appear to fit together, only one combination is correct.
When players successfully identify all four words in a category, those words vanish from the board. incorrect guesses count against the player, with a maximum of four mistakes allowed before the game concludes.

Players have the option to rearrange and shuffle the board, simplifying the search for connections. Each category is also color-coded, with yellow representing the easiest level, followed by green, blue, and purple. Similar to Wordle, you can share your results with friends via social media.
