Today’s Connections: Sports Edition features a lot of names, and I tend to do terribly on those puzzles. I do even worse when the puzzle editors change a letter in a bunch of names, as they did today. So I did terribly. But you can still solve the puzzle! Read on for hints and the answers.

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.

Green group: Found on a soccer jersey.
