Connections Sports Edition #777 hints and answers for Monday, November 9, 2026
Connections Sports Edition #777 is a board of Louisiana flavor and football heartbreak: the yellow group is four ways to name the six-point score, the green group is four teams from Louisiana, the blue group is four NFL franchises still waiting for a first Super Bowl win, and the purple group is four words that follow SEA. The trap is SON: it reads as family first, but here it finishes SEASON, while HAWKS is one SEA away from being Seattle's football team. Work one group at a time: take the hint first, then the category name, then the four words, each one waiting behind the tap for you to reveal it.
Group 1 - Yellow
Hint: Four names for the six-point score itself: the numeral on the scoreboard, the dirt a runner reaches to score, the two-letter shorthand every box score uses, and the slang word fans shout when it happens.
