What3Words?

• Insolvent
• Unprofitable
• Doomed

They're doing so great. Nothing to worry about.

I'm sure "the launch of our advertising revenue stream" will offset the "lost major Enterprise customer". Ads are really profitable now, right?

WHAT3WORDS LIMITED GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025 Financial key performance indicators The Group's total loss for the year was £12,234,738 (2024: loss £10,644,836) The increase in reported loss compared with the prior year was driven primarily by the fair value adjustment relating to convertible loan notes recognised in 2024, which reduced the overall reported loss in that year. Operating loss for the year was £12,828,534 (compared with £14,133,347 in 2024). The underlying operating performance of the business remained focused on revenue growth, product investment and disciplined cost management. The group has continued to maintain a dynamic operating model, balancing investment in growth initiatives across key markets with careful control of operating expenditure and cash runway. At 31 December 2025, the group had net assets of £10,925,686 (2024: £15,659,513). Assets were predominantly comprised of cash and cash equivalents totaling £6,493,450 (2024: £11,705,453) and term deposits of £2,649,047 (2024: £5,948,370).

Did you know: if you put ‘honking, grifter, coward’ into What3Words you get the location of Nigel Farage’s office.

What's something that experts/practitioners in your field universally agree upon, but that remains a "hot take" among the general public?

Yet what3words pushes itself hard whenever it signs another agreement with a local authority or government agency, as it did in July 2020 when Network Rail - the public body that manages most GB rail infrastructure - started using its services.

What3Words is not a solution in search of a problem, it’s a nuisance in need of an excuse.

It turns out, what3words has serious problems with homophones, plurals, dialects, anyone for whom English isn't their first language, or anyone with a vocab less than 40k words.

Indeed, UK rescuers have been warning against it's use for years... www.bbc.co.uk/news/technol...
Rescuers question what3words' use in emergencies
Mountain Rescue in England and Wales shows the BBC dozens of wrong addresses it has been given.

endless.downward.spiral - is this the beginning of the end of What3Words?
Long-time readers know that I am not a fan of What Three Words. I think it is a closed, proprietary, and user-unfriendly attempt to enclose the commons. I consider that it has some dangerous failure modes. A year ago, The Financial Times wrote about What3Words' business woes. But it looks like things are about to get a lot worse. As reported by a user on Reddit, Mercedes cars no longer support What3words. I was in touch with What3words customer support and they confirmed me that Mercedes…

Wondered if any what3words addresses consisting of a repeated word actually hit something related to the word.

It only took three attempts to find that nature.nature.nature is slap bang in the middle of Whitaker Ponds Nature Park
