Easy Tips for Connecting: Sports Edition
#1: Don’t grab the easiest group. For each word, consider the other sports categories that it fits in. Is this a word that can be used in soccer, or can I explain the scoring options?
#2: The second meaning is important. Puzzles love using surnames and even university names that mean other things, and making them think of them as words rather than names.
#3: The opposite applies too. Words like Hurts may seem like regular words, but they are also the last name of at least one professional athlete.
