About Connections: Animal Kingdom

Connections: Animal Kingdom is a free sports connections puzzle: sixteen tiles hiding four secret groups of four. Every tile is an animal. Three leagues' worth of mascots — plus four stars whose surnames roam the wild. Spot the players.

You get 4 mistakes before the board locks, and the trickiest group is always a wordplay trap built to steal a tile you would swear belongs somewhere else. This one is rated Hard, and four of the animals are actually players.

All sixteen tiles are listed below in alphabetical order, exactly as you will see them on the board. How they group is the whole game, so no hints there.

How to play

  1. Read all sixteen tiles before touching anything; the traps punish fast fingers.
  2. Select four tiles you think share a hidden connection and submit.
  3. A correct four locks the group in; a wrong four burns one of your 4 mistakes.
  4. Solve all four groups to win, then share your recap grid.
