The Chains

Each puzzle names a start and finish player; the chain between them is built from real players who were teammates (college ties also count in the NFL version), with an extra daily objective. Scoring rewards beating par and naming rare connectors. NFL, MLB and NBA editions exist, with an archive of earlier puzzles.
