The New York Times's recent game, "Strands," is becoming more and more popular as another daily activity fans can find on the NYT website and app.

Connections Sports Edition is just like the regular Connections word puzzle, in that it's a game that resets at 12 a.m. EST each day and has 16 different words listed.

Unlike its larger sibling, the NYT Mini crossword is free to play on the New York Times website or NYT Games app.
