W3W is clever, but like anything reliance on it without a backup can be worrying. My home address (Wiltshire UK) ends in arching - the same first two words followed by arcing (easy to mis-hear or mis-read in a panic) is in the middle of the Pacific Ocean...
We spaced similar 3 word addresses far apart, & our search returns suggested 3 word addresses based on your current location to help you get the right one, even if you make a mistake.pic.twitter.com/jzUVR1OtZF

@alexbloor might want to add your findings from today's clicking around? -
I mean, i haven't said that it never works. Merely that it has some serious problems, which it does. Like that adding 's' to the end of one word results in a place confusingly 9 miles away.

This doesn't seem to work all the time; Two of these are both "near Upper Brookville, New York", indeed they're almost adjacent!pic.twitter.com/cX4u3qnX4B

You do realise that in the example you've given, the location is accurate to within 18 meters.... right? 18 meters! I've had a postcode one character wrong which has sent me more than 10 miles off course by road, and that is in the UK with a very detailed postcode system.
