It takes 3 tRNA nucleotides to make an anticodon that will match the mRNA 3-base codon.
Example:
mRNA says AUG
tRNA says UAC - that matches - brings methionine

By definition three nucleotides, the anticodon for UUC would be GTT. Remember that we write DNA sequences 5' to 3', and the 5' most nucleotide of the anticodon, G, will base pair to the 3' most nucleotide (wobble position) of the codon.

3, always grouped in threes.
remember: DNA nucleotides are A,T,G,C and RNA are A,U,G,C. the purpose of mrna to trna is to "decode" the message by matching or translating the nucleotids.
A-T-U
G-C-G
C-G-C
T-U-A
those are the process of translation.
