Regex: 3 words with 2 dashes in between

I'm looking for regex that matches this pattern:

/word-word-word/ MATCH  
/word-word/ DO NOT MATCH  
/word/ DO NOT MATCH

Starts with /, 3 words in a row, with 2 dashes in between, ends with /

This is what I have so far, but it doesn't work.

\/^[A-Za-z]+([-][A-Za-z]+)+([-][A-Za-z]+)$\/

Starts with /, 3 words in a row, with 2 dashes in between, ends with /

But you are using \/^[A-Za-z]+([-][A-Za-z]+)+([-][A-Za-z]+)$\/

Which means start of string should be word but there should be a / before it. It's a paradox.

Those slashes should come inside anchors. Also you don't need [ ] for - since it's a single character.

Regex: ^\/[a-zA-Z]+-[a-zA-Z]+-[a-zA-Z]+\/$
