What3words

What3words is a very special map that helps people tell each other where to go. It's like a special code for every single place on earth, even if there's no street name or address.

Every single place in the world is given a very unique address that’s made up of three simple English words. These words can be used to find any place on earth – a palace in London and a waterfall in Bali. All the words are arranged in a special way to create a code that can be used by people to tell each other where to go.

For example, if you want to go to a certain park, you can’t just say “go to the park”. There could be so many parks! But if you know the special words for that park, you can tell your friend those words and they can find it exactly where you wanted them to.

This technology can be really helpful for people who live in places that don't have a lot of addresses or street names. And it's also helpful for emergency services, so they can find people who need help even if they don't know the exact address of where they are.

So, in short, what3words is like a special code that can help people find any place in the world, just by using three simple words.
