Today's Connections: Sports Edition features athletes with talented feet.

As we've shared in previous hints stories, this is a version of the popular New York Times word game that seeks to test the knowledge of sports fans.

Like the original Connections, the game is all about finding the "common threads between words." And just like Wordle, Connections resets after midnight and each new set of words gets trickier and trickier — so we've served up some hints and tips to get you over the hurdle.

If you just want to be told today's puzzle, you can jump to the end of this article for the latest Connections solution. But if you'd rather solve it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you.

The NYT's latest daily word game has launched in association with The Athletic, the New York Times property that provides the publication's sports coverage. Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.

If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake — players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.

Players can also rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Additionally, each group is color-coded with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can share the results with your friends on social media.

Prime Day has come to an end, and the deals are starting to wither away. The next big sales event will be Black Friday at the end of November, so there's some time to wait. But if you're in need of a tech upgrade now, don't fret, there are still some post-Prime Day sales lingering, and not to mention, Amazon's Daily Deals are often impressive. Like this deal on the Google TV streamer, still sitting at its Prime Day price.

As of Oct. 10, it is currently priced at $79.98. Now, it's not its lowest-ever price, but it's close. According to camelcamelcamel, in May, it hit $79, just 98 cents better than it is now. This model also made it to our list of the best streaming devices for 2025.

The device setup is similar to most streaming device setups, except rather than a stick that plugs directly into your TV, for the Google TV streamer, you connect it via an HDMI cable.

This streaming device is a great way to make watching easier on a non-smart TV, or even just upgrade your setup to a Google platform. It brings together content from all your streaming services on a single home screen. You can also access live TV and more than 800 free channels from apps like Pluto TV and Tubi.

The 4K edition has support for up to 4K HDR and Dolby Vision. It delivers a clear, detailed picture quality, and you can connect speakers with Dolby Atmos for an even more immersive sound experience. The latest model includes a faster processor, double the memory, and 32GB of storage, so switching between apps is nice and easy, and above all, fast.
