About Clu3

Clu3 gives you one secret word a day and three ways in. The first clue is a single word. If your guess is wrong, the second clue appears as an emoji, and a second miss unlocks the third, a picture.

The answer is the word that connects all three, so the clues are rarely the answer's plain definition. On the game's own card, the word Whisper sits beside a shushing face emoji with the picture still locked, which shows the kind of sideways thinking it asks for.

It is a short daily: three guesses at most, and each puzzle is the same for every player that day. The game is free to play in the browser and comes from Brandstart.

It suits players who like word association and rebus-style clues more than spelling games, and who want something that takes a minute or two.

How to play Clu3

1. Read today's first clue, a single word.
2. Type the word you think it points to and submit it.
3. If you miss, an emoji clue unlocks; a second miss unlocks an image.
4. Find the one word that connects all three clues within three tries.

Tips

• Think of what the clue word suggests, not its synonyms.
• Use the emoji to narrow the idea before spending your last guess.
• Short, common words are often the answer.
