Today's Sports Connections is easier if you know baseball.

This game is a version of the New York Times word game for sports fans.

The game is about finding common threads between words. It gets harder each day, so we have hints to help.

You can find today's puzzle answer at the end or keep reading for clues.

The New York Times and The Athletic made this game. You can play on your phone or computer.

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

If you get a group right, those words are removed. If you get it wrong, it counts as a mistake.

You can move the words around to make it easier. Each group has a color to help you.

Want a hint about the groups? Try these:

Yellow: Baseball player stats

Green: Fan groups

Blue: Football teams

Purple: Types of pools

Need more help? The groups are about these things:

Yellow: Baseball stats

Green: Fan signs

Blue: Football teams without 'ers'

Purple: Pool types
