What is Connections Sports Edition?

Each puzzle has 16 words, and each group of words is divided into four categories. These sets could include anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. While several words will seem to fit together, there is only one correct answer.
If a player gets all four words in the correct set, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong, and it counts as a mistake – players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.
