Triad (Puzzleship)

About Triad (Puzzleship)

Any attribute where two cards match and one does not breaks the triad. Cards are never used up, so one card can belong to several triads, and a panel shows a slot for each triad still to find. It plays like the classic card game Set as a daily puzzle.

The quick method is to work from pairs: two cards fully determine the third card a triad would need, so picture that card and scan for it. Colour, shape and number are fast to read; shading is slowest, so check it last.

Puzzleship publishes six layouts of Triad a day, graded from very easy to ultra hard. Each day's layouts are numbered and dated, the same for every player, and appear at midnight in your own time zone; earlier days stay playable in the archive. The site is free with ads, and a premium plan removes them.

How to play Triad (Puzzleship)

1. Open Triad and pick one of the day's six layouts.
2. Select three cards.
3. Check that colour, shape, number and shading are each all alike or all different.
4. Keep the cards in play; they can form other triads.
5. Find every triad to finish; the empty slots show how many remain.

Tips

• Pick two cards and picture the third; then look for it.
• Check shading last.
• Remember a card can be in more than one triad.
• Use the remaining slots to know when to keep looking.
