Three by Three

Three by Three is a word puzzle. Figure out the 3 secret categories and the 1 word that's in all 3.

Every round shows you nine words. Somewhere inside them are three secret groups of three. One word, the golden word, belongs to all three groups at once.

Your job: pick three words, guess whether they form a group, and work your way to the golden word that ties the whole board together.

Tap three words you think share a rule, then hit Guess.

Solve two groups and the golden word reveals itself.

Stuck? Use a hint, but every hint costs you 50 points.

Solve a board with no hints for the full 1,000 points.

Hand-crafted puzzles.

A points system that rewards every solve.

A global leaderboard. Pick a username and see how you rank.

Simple, calm, distraction-free design.

Easy to learn, tricky to master. If you like word games, association

puzzles, and that moment when scattered words snap into place, Three by

Three is for you!
