The New York Times Connections Sports Edition puzzle for September 6 has been solved. Puzzle number 348 was a tough challenge. Many players struggled with the purple group, while others found relief in the card-game clues.
The puzzle appears in The Athletic app and on its website. It is not part of the main NYT Games app. The Athletic is owned by The New York Times and publishes this daily sports spin on the classic Connections game.
Today’s NYT Connections Sports Edition Hints and Groups
Players had four groups to uncover. Each carried a different theme. The game asked solvers to spot patterns across sixteen words.
The yellow group theme was tennis statistics. The answers were aces, double faults, unforced errors, and winners. Simple for tennis fans.
The green group theme was poker variants. The correct four were hold ’em, horse, Omaha, and stud. This was the fun twist of the day.
The blue group theme focused on Giants quarterbacks. The names were Manning, Simms, Tittle, and Wilson. Fans of the NFL found this one clear.
The purple group was the hardest. It covered teams coached by Lane Kiffin. The set included Mississippi, Raiders, Tennessee, and USC. Many players missed it at first.
Why This NYT Connections Puzzle Stood Out
This puzzle showed how broad the Sports Edition can be. It stretched from tennis to poker to NFL history and even coaching careers.
According to The Athletic, the Sports Edition was built to reach fans across many sports. It also highlights trivia and niche knowledge. Today’s mix was a perfect example.
Tennis fans had easy ground. Poker fans got a surprise. Football fans had to dig into past and present. And the Lane Kiffin clue rewarded those who track college and pro coaching.

NYT Connections Sports Edition has grown quickly since launch. It is part of a trend where word games meet fan culture. Daily puzzles now drive conversation among fans.
Each day’s set pulls from different sports and eras. That makes it both fair and challenging. It also creates a sense of community as players share answers.
The puzzle is now a regular feature for readers of The Athletic. With puzzles like today’s, it continues to expand its reach.
NYT Connections remains one of the most engaging word puzzles online. The Sports Edition keeps fans hooked with daily twists and deep sports themes.
