Today’s Connections: Sports Edition has four logos in it, but never fear, the Times wouldn’t make it so easy that they are all in the same category. One trick I’m passing along: Memorize some of the unusual team names in the various sports leagues, like Dream or Storm or Wild. Those words show up a lot because the editors can put them under different headings. Read on for hints and the answers to today’s Connections: Sports Edition.

Connections: Sports Edition is out of beta now, making its debut on Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 9. That’s a sign that the game has earned enough loyal players that The Athletic, the subscription-based sports journalism site owned by the Times, will continue to publish it. It doesn’t show up in the NYT Games app but now appears in The Athletic’s own app. Or you can continue to play it free online.

Quick tips for Connections: Sports Edition

#1: Don’t grab for the easiest group. For each word, think about other sports categories it might fit in – is this a word that can be used in football, or to describe scoring options?

#2: Second meanings are important. The puzzle loves to use last names and even college names that mean other things, to fool you into thinking they are words, not names.

#3: And the opposite is also true. Words like HURTS might seem like a regular word, but it’s also the last name of at least one pro athlete.
