Хөлбөмбөгийн сонирхогчдод зориулсан 2026 оны долдугаар сарын 6-ны өдрийн “Connections: Soccer Edition” таавар нь 3-ын 5-ын зэрэглэлтэй хүндрэлтэй байна.
Тоглогчид 16 үгийг нийтлэг шинж чанараар нь дөрвөн бүлэгт хуваах даалгавар гүйцэтгэнэ. Шар өнгийн бүлэгт ДАШТ-ий шигшээ тоглолт болсон хотууд (Иокогама, Берлин, Рио-де-Жанейро, Йоханнесбург), ногоон өнгийн бүлэгт хөлбөмбөгийн төрлүүд (далайн эргийн, футзал, 5-ын эсрэг 5, фристайл) багтжээ.
Цэнхэр бүлэгт MLS-ийн багуудын хоч (Файр, Юнион, Рапидс, Тимберс), харин ягаан өнгийн бүлэгт ДАШТ-д улаан хуудас авсан тоглогчид (Сон, Пепе, Хейтинга, Балогун) орсон байна. Тоглолтын явцад тоглогчид дөрвөн удаа алдаа гаргах эрхтэй бөгөөд тав дахь алдаагаар тоглолт өндөрлөж, хариултууд ил болдог.
“The Athletic” сэтгүүлийн ахлах редактор Уилл Жинсийн бүтээсэн энэхүү цуврал тоглолт нь ДАШТ-ий түүх болон статистик мэдээлэлд суурилдаг. Дараагийн өдрийн таавар тухайн бүсийн цагаар шөнө дундад шинэчлэгдэх болно.

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!
