What3Words Hangman is a fun word-guessing activity that helps learners become familiar with what3words addresses while developing spelling, vocabulary, and problem-solving skills. By guessing the words that make up a what3words address, children gain a better understanding of how three unique words can identify a precise location anywhere in the world.

How To Use

  • Choose a what3words address and write the three words as blank spaces on the worksheet, keeping the words hidden from learners.
  • Learners take turns guessing letters that might appear in the three words.
  • Add correctly guessed letters to the appropriate spaces and record incorrect guesses following the usual Hangman rules.
  • Continue until the learners correctly identify all three words or reach the maximum number of incorrect guesses.
  • Once the address has been revealed, use the what3words app or website to locate it on a map and explore where it is in the world.
  • Extend the activity by discussing the location, creating clues about the place, or challenging learners to create their own what3words Hangman puzzles for others to solve.
