About Connections: Saturday Icons

Connections: Saturday Icons is a free sports connections puzzle: sixteen tiles hiding four secret groups of four. Heisman names, playoff powers, bowl season, and four award winners whose surnames look like ordinary words.

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 the heisman group hides in plain english.

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.
