The June 14 Sports Edition puzzle focused on Houston franchises, Warriors draft picks and rule‑based word groups, while a separate Sports Edition also listed clues for baseball rain‑delay terms and NBA teams. Across all three days the articles provided both the puzzle clues and the complete solutions for each edition.
