Connections — find the four groups of four

Sixteen names from European basketball, and four hidden groups of four. One might be a club's current roster, one a nationality, one a Final Four starting five, one a shared shirt number. Three mistakes is all you get, and the overlaps are deliberate.

How to play Connections

Frequently asked questions

What kinds of groups appear?
Eleven category types: a club's current roster, a nationality, all guards or forwards or centers, a Final Four starting five, everyone at one Final Four, a birth decade, club legends, a club's ex-players, a shared jersey number, the 2.10 m club, and journeymen.
Is every puzzle solvable in only one way?
Yes, and that is enforced rather than assumed. All 128 puzzles are machine-generated and then verified to have exactly one valid solution, with fairness checks that keep every group independently recognisable.
Why do some names look like they fit two groups?
Because they genuinely do — a player's nationality, an old club and a shirt number can all be true at once. The single valid solution is what resolves it, and spotting which claim is the decoy is the puzzle.
Can I play more than one a day?
Yes. The Daily is the same board for everyone and feeds your streak; Practice serves unlimited random puzzles from the same pool.

Getting better at Connections

What's in the game

128 boards, each built from the site's data and checked for exactly one solution. The categories run from current rosters and nationalities to Final Four starting fives, birth decades, shared shirt numbers, the 2.10 m club and players who have played for six or more clubs. Every board is checked again whenever the data changes, so a transfer can't quietly give a board a second answer.

An example

Kostas Sloukas is Greek, a guard, a former Olympiacos player and a current Panathinaikos one, all at once. A board never lets him fit two of its groups, so on the day he appears the question is only which of those facts this board is asking about. That is the whole game: every name is true in several ways, and only one of them is on the board.
