NYT Sports Connections: Hints and Answers for June 1, 2026

Today's Sports Connections needs knowledge of sports.

This game tests sports fans' knowledge like the New York Times word game.

The game finds common threads between words. It gets harder each day, so we give hints.

You can see today's puzzle answer at the end or read on for clues.

The NYT and The Athletic made this game. It can be played on computers and phones.

Each puzzle has 16 words in four groups. The groups can be about books, countries, etc.

If you get a group right, it disappears. You can make four mistakes.

You can move the words around to help. Each group has a color: yellow, green, blue, purple.

Want a hint about the groups? Try these:

Yellow is about team building.

Green is about exercise.

Blue is about Philadelphia baseball players.

Purple is about muscle names.

Need more help? The groups are about baseball teams, gym equipment, Philadelphia players, and muscle names.

Yellow is about baseball team parts.

Green is about gym machines.

Blue is about Philadelphia baseball players.

Purple is about muscle nicknames and a letter.
