NYT Connections Sports Edition #460: Hints and Solutions for December 27

Each morning, a small puzzle arrives — sixteen words scattered like pieces of a larger picture, waiting to be sorted into meaning. The New York Times, in partnership with The Athletic, offers this daily ritual to sports-minded players: find the hidden thread, group the words, and for a few quiet minutes, let the mind move sideways through language and memory. On December 27th, puzzle #460 asked players to hold together baseball history, wrestling traditions, wordplay, and the language of keepsakes — a reminder that sport, like all human endeavor, carries its own vocabulary of belonging.
