What Clu3 is
Clu3 is a daily word puzzle that asks you to identify a single hidden word. You are given three clues in a fixed order: first a word, then an emoji, and finally an image. Each clue is meant to point toward the same answer, but they escalate in difficulty. You have exactly three tries to submit a guess. If your first guess is wrong, the second clue unlocks; if that guess is also wrong, the third clue appears. The twist is that the daily mechanic changes how the clues relate to the answer, so the connection is never predictable. The puzzle is free to play on the web and takes only a few minutes. Each day brings a fresh challenge, making Clu3 a compact but engaging exercise in word association and lateral thinking.
How to play
Your goal is to guess the one word that connects all three clues. You start with the word clue only. Enter a word guess and submit it. If it is incorrect, the emoji clue unlocks. Submit another guess. If that is wrong, the image clue appears, giving you the final piece of information. Your third guess is your last chance. The clues are always presented in the same order: word, emoji, image. The daily mechanic alters how these clues relate to the answer, so you must consider each clue in light of that day's rule. A new puzzle is available every day, and you have only three tries per puzzle.
Tips
- Start by focusing on the word clue alone—it is the most direct hint, and the daily mechanic may change its relationship to the answer.
- Use the emoji clue to test a broader set of associations, especially if your first guess was off.
- Save your final guess for after you see the image clue, since it is the last and most specific hint you get.
Common questions
How many tries do I get per puzzle?
You have exactly three tries to guess the hidden word. Each wrong guess unlocks the next clue, so your third guess is also your final attempt.
What happens after a wrong guess?
A wrong guess unlocks the next clue in the sequence. The clues appear in order: word, emoji, then image. After the image, you have no more clues, and your next guess is your last.
Is there a new puzzle every day?
Yes, a new puzzle is available daily. The daily mechanic changes how the clues relate to the answer, so each day's puzzle works differently from the previous one.
