Looking for the most recent regular Connections answers? Click here for today’s Connections hints, as well as our daily answers and hints for The New York Times Mini Crossword, Wordle and Strands puzzles.

Connections: Sports Edition is out of beta, making its debut on Super Bowl Sunday in February. That’s a sign that the game earned enough loyal players that The Athletic, the subscription-based sports journalism site owned by the Times, will continue to publish it.
