In the world of online puzzles, there's a new game in town. It's called Connections: Sports Edition. This game started as a test on a big sports day, Super Bowl Sunday, and it was a hit. Now, it's a regular feature, not just in the NYT Games app, but also in a sports news app. You can even play it for free on the web.

Let's talk about the puzzle itself. It has four groups of words, each with a different theme. The themes range from easy to tricky. The easiest one is about a part of the NFL. The next one is about a sport that involves horses. Then, there's one about a city known for its sports heroes. The toughest one is about a famous basketball coach and the teams he led.

Here's a hint for each group. The easiest group is about a part of the NFL. The second group is about a sport that involves horses. The third group is about a city known for its sports heroes. The toughest group is about a famous basketball coach and the teams he led.  If you're stuck, remember that words can have more than one meaning. A word might seem like a regular word, but it could also be a name. And the opposite is true too. A name might seem like a regular word, but it could also be a word.

For today's puzzle, the answers are as follows. The easiest group is about players from a specific NFL division. The words are Colt, Jaguar, Texan and Titan. The second group is about the starting words of famous horse races. The words are Belmont, Breeders', Kentucky and Preakness. The third group is about famous athletes from a certain city. The words are Abdul-Jabbar, Antetokounmpo, Molitor and Yount. The toughest group is about teams coached by a well-known basketball coach. The words are Celtics, Iona, Panathinaikos and St. John's.

So, if you're up for a challenge, give Connections: Sports Edition a try. It's a fun way to test your sports knowledge and your puzzle-solving skills. Just remember to think outside the box and consider all the possible meanings of a word.
