Stop here if you still want to solve the puzzle. The following categories and word groups are the answers Parade reported for #422.
| Color | Category | Answers | How the group fits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yellow | SWIM GEAR | CAP, GOGGLES, NOSE CLIP | All are items associated with swimming. |
| Green | NBA PLAYER NICKNAMES | BOOK, JOKER, KAT, WEMBY | These are the four nicknames in the reported set. |
| Blue | HIIT | HIGH, INTENSITY, INTERVAL, TRAINING | The words spell out the expansion “high-intensity interval training.” |
| Purple | CAR _____ | FUNNY, INDY, RALLY, STOCK | Each word completes a phrase beginning with “car.” |
How to approach the group logic
Look for the most literal connection first
CAP, GOGGLES, and NOSE CLIP point to swimming equipment, making the yellow set the most direct category in the reported solution.
Read sports terms as nicknames or word fragments
The green set is built around NBA player nicknames rather than player positions or teams. The blue set works differently: its four entries supply the words in HIIT, “high-intensity interval training.” That is the puzzle’s word grouping, not exercise or medical advice.
Test phrase completions for the trickier set
For purple, put “car” before each answer: car funny, car Indy, car rally, and car stock. The shared link is the phrase pattern, not a single kind of vehicle or race.

What Connections Sports Edition is
Parade describes Connections Sports Edition as a sports-themed version of Connections, developed through a partnership between The New York Times and The Athletic. Its description says players group 16 sports-related words into four groups of four, each sharing a common thread, and that the daily game resets at 12 a.m. EST. These are mechanics as described in that report, not independent confirmation of current access or an official archive.
