NYT Connections: Sports Edition #30 was published on October 23, 2024. The available answer text for that date conflicts with its own headline and refers to a different puzzle, so its categories and 16 words cannot be verified here. To avoid giving you invented or mismatched spoilers, this page offers solving tips rather than an unverified answer key.
How Connections: Sports Edition works
The game presents 16 words for sorting into four groups of four, each linked by a shared sports-related connection. You can rearrange the board and make up to four mistakes before the game ends. The contemporaneous game discussion identifies the October 23, 2024 puzzle as #30.
Why the October 23, 2024 answers are not listed
The page matching the date and title has contradictory body text: it calls the puzzle #25 and points to an October 21 solution. That does not establish the categories or words for #30. The distinction matters because October 23, 2025 was a separate puzzle, #395; its answer set is not an answer key for the 2024 game.

Tips for solving the puzzle without spoilers
- Look for words linked by a sport, team, position, or familiar sporting phrase.
- Keep track of multiple plausible connections before submitting. A word may appear to fit more than one group, so test the whole set rather than committing to the first pattern you see.
- Use the rearrange or shuffle option when the board’s layout makes a possible group hard to spot.
- Reveal help in stages: start with a broad connection you suspect, then check the words against it before seeking a full answer key.
