This is strictly a piece of folklore with no basis in fact, but sometimes people like to think that if they try something twice unsuccessfully, they are likely to make it work, or to succeed, on their third attempt, because three is somehow a magic number. Sometimes people do succeed on their third attempt, of course, but it's not because the third time is a charm, it just works out that way sometimes. At other times people may succeed on their first attempt, or their second attempt, or their fifthieth attempt, or they may never succeed. It depends what they are trying to do, and how good they are at doing it.

Third time's the charm.
The saying "third time's a charm" suggests that after two unsuccessful attempts, the third try is likely to succeed. While this is often used humorously or to encourage persistence, it doesn't guarantee success. The idea is rooted in optimism and the belief that learning from past failures can lead to better outcomes. Ultimately, the effectiveness of this saying depends on the context and the effort put into each attempt.

The phrase "the third time's the charm" is believed to have originated in the early 19th century, with its earliest recorded use in a 1710 poem by English poet John Heywood. The saying suggests that after two failures, a third attempt is more likely to succeed. It reflects a common belief in the significance of the number three in various cultures, often associated with good fortune or completion. Over time, it has become a popular idiom in English-speaking contexts.
