Хөлбөмбөг сонирхогчдод зориулсан 2026 оны Дэлхийн аварга шалгаруулах тэмцээний өдөр тутмын “Connections: Soccer Edition” тааврын 37 дахь дугаарын хариултууд тодорлоо. Энэ удаагийн таавар нь 3-аас 5 хүртэлх хүндрэлтэй гэж үнэлэгдсэн байна.
Тоглоомын үндсэн зорилго нь 16 үгийг хоорондоо хамаарал бүхий дөрвөн бүлэгт зөв ангилах юм. Үүнд: Дэлхийн аварга шалгаруулах тэмцээнийг зохион байгуулагч орон болж түрүүлсэн улсууд (Уругвай, Итали, Англи, Франц), “game” буюу тоглолт гэсэн утгыг илэрхийлэх нэр томьёо (Tie, Fixture, Match, Leg), “Ball” гэсэн үгтэй хамт хэрэглэгддэг үгс (Hand, Foot, Drop, Through) болон Английн дээд лигт хет-трик хийсэн тоглогчид (Wood, King, Rush, Brazil) багтжээ.
“The Athletic” сэтгүүлийн ахлах редактор Уилл Жийнсийн бүтээсэн энэхүү таавар нь хөлбөмбөгийн түүх, статистикийн мэдлэгийг сорьдог онцлогтой. Тоглогчид дөрвөн удаа алдаа гаргах эрхтэй бөгөөд үүнээс давсан тохиолдолд тоглолт дуусч, хариултууд ил болдог журамтай.
Шинэ таавар өдөр бүр таны амьдарч буй бүсийн цагаар шөнө дунд нээгддэг. Хэрэглэгчид өөрсдийн амжилтыг бусадтай хуваалцан хэлэлцэх боломжтой юм.

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?
