Today’s NYT Connections: Sports Edition Hints and Answers for July 29, #674

NYT Connections体育版拼图今天更新了！这一期特别有意思，如果你喜欢扑克或蒙特利尔这座城市，一定能玩得津津有味。拼图把16个单词分成四个主题组：黄组是“对决”，包含竞争、比赛等词；绿组是德州扑克的关键阶段，比如翻牌、河牌、摊牌；蓝组则是蒙特利尔的职业球队，像加拿大人冰球队、CF蒙特利尔足球队等。最妙的是紫组，需要找出单词开头隐藏的音乐流派，比如乡村俱乐部里的“乡村”，波波维奇名字里的“流行”，连“摇滚”都藏在“洛奇”里。这个游戏对体育迷来说是绝佳的脑力锻炼，既能检验你对不同体育领域的了解，又能学到冷门术语——比如蒙特利尔女足队叫“Victoire”。不过如果你不熟悉意大利足球俱乐部、WNBA MVP或者英超球队的绰号，一些分类可能会让你抓狂。好在每天都有新题目，既能打发时间，又能拓宽知识面，是休闲时的有趣挑战。
