Triad is a card-matching puzzle built on colour, shape, number and shading. Three cards form a triad when each of those four attributes is either the same on all three or different on all three. Find every triad in the layout.
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 go up at 13:00 UTC, though the page says they appear at midnight your time; earlier days stay playable in the archive. Puzzleship is made by Brainzil, LLC. The site is free with ads, and a premium plan removes them.
