January 3 Connections Sports Edition hints
Connections: Sports Edition gives players 16 words to sort into four groups of four, each linked by a shared sports-related thread. The New York Times describes the task as grouping sports terms that share a common thread. The game is associated with The Athletic and The New York Times, as Parade’s January 3, 2026 guide explains.
- One group uses slang for hitting a batter with a pitch.
- One group consists of flag colors or patterns used in NASCAR.
- One group names people associated with the Warriors dynasty.
- The last group completes the name “Steve _____.”
