LYCOS, INC.
COMMON STOCK
This Third Prospectus Supplement (the "Third Prospectus Supplement") supplements
the Prospectus dated March 19, 1998 ("Prospectus"), the Prospectus Supplement
dated April 6, 1998 ("Prospectus Supplement"), and the Second Prospectus
Supplement dated April 23, 1998 ("Second Prospectus Supplement", and together
with the Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement, the "Supplemented Prospectus") of
Lycos, Inc. ("Lycos" or the "Company") relating to the public offering, which is
not being underwritten, and sale of up to 2,425,726 shares of Common Stock, par
value $0.01 per share (the "Shares") of the Company, which may be offered and
sold from time to time by certain stockholders of the Company or by pledgees,
donees, transferees or other successors in interest that receive such shares as
a gift, partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer (the
"Selling Stockholders"). The Company will receive no part of the proceeds of
such sales. Of the Shares offered under the Supplemented Prospectus, 1,212,863
Shares were originally issued or reserved for issuance by the Company in
connection with the Company's acquisition of Tripod, Inc. ("Tripod"), a Delaware
corporation, by and through a merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lycos, Pod
Acquisition Corporation, with and into Tripod (the "Acquisition"). The "Selling
Stockholders" Section of the Supplemented Prospectus is hereby further
supplemented to reflect the two for one stock split effected by the Company
after the date of the Prospectus. This Third Prospectus Supplement should be
read in conjunction with the Supplemented Prospectus, and is qualified by
reference to the Supplemented Prospectus except to the extent that the
information herein contained supersedes the information contained in the
Supplemented Prospectus. Capitalized terms used in this Third Prospectus
Supplement and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings specified in the
Supplemented Prospectus.

split and supplemented to specifically include Shares received in such
distribution. The following table sets forth as of September 11, 1998 the name
of each of the entities and individuals who received Shares through the
distribution effected by the stock split, the number of shares of Common Stock
that such Selling Stockholder beneficially owns as of such date, the number of
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by each such Selling Stockholder that

the Shares offered by such Selling Stockholders and the percentage of the
outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock to be beneficially owned by
