2026 оны долдугаар сарын 13-ны өдрийн оньсогын хариулт болон тайлбарыг хүргэж байна.
“The Athletic”-ийн ахлах редактор Уилл Жинсийн бүтээсэн “Connections: Soccer Edition” тоглоом нь 2026 оны Дэлхийн аварга шалгаруулах тэмцээний хүрээнд хөлбөмбөг сонирхогчдод зориулсан шинэлэг сорилт юм. Оролцогчид 16 өгөгдсөн үгийг дөрвөн үндсэн ангилалд хувааж, зөв холбоосыг олох ёстой бөгөөд гурван удаа алдах эрхтэй.
Өнөөдрийн 33 дахь дугаарын хүндрэлийн түвшин таваас гурав буюу дунд зэрэг байна. Үүнд Премьер лигт ганцхан улирал тоглосон багууд (Суиндон, Лутон, Блэкпүүл, Барнсли), Өмнөд хагас бөмбөрцөгт болсон ДАШТ-ий шигшээ тоглолтын цэнгэлдэхүүд (Сентенарио, Монументаль, Насьональ, Соккер Сити) багтжээ.
Мөн хөлбөмбөгийн алдартай дуунууд (Three Lions, World in Motion, Wavin’ Flag, Waka Waka) болон ДАШТ-д хет-трик хийсэн тоглогчид (Кисс, Батистута, Шакири, Игуаин) гэсэн дөрвөн ангилал багтсан байна. Тоглолтын шинэ даалгавар өдөр бүр таны цагийн бүсээр шөнө дунд шинэчлэгдэнэ.

What is Connections: Soccer Edition?
Connections: Soccer Edition is a new, daily puzzle for the 2026 World Cup designed for players to find connections between 16 words on the game board.
The game’s objective is to group sixteen words or objects into four groups of four based on commonalities within each group as quickly as possible. You are allowed to make three mistakes but fail a fourth time and the game ends with the answers being revealed.
Each puzzle has exactly one solution, so watch out for words or items that seem to belong to multiple categories!
Category examples:
Teams making World Cup debut in 2026: Cape Verde, Jordan, Curaçao, Uzbekistan
Penalty ____: Spot, Kick, Taker, Shootout
Each category group is assigned a color, which is revealed when you solve it, ranging from easy (yellow) to medium (green) to challenging (blue) to difficult (purple). Of course, these group rankings are subject to interpretation, so you may solve a harder one before an easier one!
Who creates the puzzles for Connections: Soccer Edition?
I do! My name is Will Jeanes and I create Connections: Soccer Edition and work as a senior editor at The Athletic. I also do some writing, focusing mostly on soccer history and statistics.
The next puzzle will be available at midnight in your time zone. Thanks for playing — and share your scores in the comments!
