Quick advice for connections: sports edition
# 1: Do not take the simplest group. For each word, think of other sports categories in which it could integrate – is it a word that can be used in football or to describe the rating options?
# 2: Second meanings are important. The puzzle likes to use surnames and even college names that mean other things, you are going to think that these are words, not names.
# 3: And the reverse is also true. Words like Hurts may seem a regular word, but it is also the family name of at least a professional athlete.
