Tribond puzzles challenge you to find what three seemingly unrelated things have in common. Each puzzle gives you a trio of words, names, or ideas, and your task is to uncover the hidden link — the “bond” — between them. The connections can be anything from pop culture and sports to academic topics, wordplay, and more.
Tribonds are fun, flexible, and educational, making them perfect for classrooms, family game nights, workshops, or parties. They’re a great way to spark conversation, sharpen thinking skills, and entertain groups of all ages.
Tribond Examples
To give you a better idea, here are a few examples:
- CLUCK, TRILL, TWEET ➔ All are bird sounds
- MAZE, TANGRAM, SUDOKU ➔ Each one is a type of puzzle
- SPINE, FEMUR, TIBIA ➔ These are all bones in the human body
- ROBIN, WREN, WEEBILL ➔ All are tiny birds
- PRIDE, TROOP, COVEY ➔ These are names for groups of animals
