Jigsaw Circle with text on them

Question

I want to make a jigsaw circle with three pieces having text on them. It should look something like in the attached image. but I could be able to find a way o do that

I found this code from one of the questions here questions here. but I could not find a way to edit it to get my desired result as I am new to Latex.

\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz,stackengine}
\setstackEOL{\}
\newcommand{\side}[1]{
(0.5,0.5) -- 
(0.0,#10.00) .. controls (0.0,#10.00) and (0.4,#1-0.04) .. 
(0.4,#10.04) .. controls (0.4,#10.11) and (0.2,#10.26) .. 
(0.5,#10.26) .. controls (0.8,#10.26) and (0.6,#10.11) .. 
(0.6,#10.04) .. controls (0.6,#1-0.04) and (1.0,#10.00) .. 
(1.0,#1*0.00)
}
\newcommand{\piece}[6][white]{
    \draw[#1,postaction={fill=gray!10}]
    \side{#2}
    [rotate around={90:(0.5,0.5)}] \side{#3} 
    [rotate around={180:(0.5,0.5)}] \side{#4} 
    [rotate around={270:(0.5,0.5)}] \side{#5} 
    -- cycle;
    \node [black] at (.5,.5) {\Centerstack{#6}};
}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=3.5]
\begin{scope}
    \piece[red]{1}{1}{0}{0}{my text\goes right\here}
\end{scope}
\begin{scope}[xshift=1cm]
    \piece[blue]{1}{-1}{-1}{0}{B}
\end{scope}
\begin{scope}[xshift=2cm]
    \piece[green]{1}{0}{1}{0}{C}
\end{scope}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

I shared a code, that I'm playing with to get a desired result. — user444, Jun 25 '22 at 04:36
Please add a link to where you got the code. -you should ALWAYS do that when copying other peoples code. — hpekristiansen, Jun 25 '22 at 21:27

The answer below uses the wheelchart package, which I wrote.

The arc at the start and the end of the slices is determined by the key slices arc.

The text in the slices is determined by the key wheel data.

\documentclass[border=6pt,dvipsnames]{standalone}
\usepackage{wheelchart}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\wheelchart[
  data=,
  middle=Research,
  middle fill={
    left color=gray!50,
    right color=gray
  },
  middle style={font=\em\bfseries},
  radius={1}{3.3},
  slices arc={2}{0.8},
  slices style={
    left color=\WCvarA!50,
    right color=\WCvarA
  },
  start angle=45,
  value=1,
  wheel data=\WCvarB,
  wheel data pos=0.5,
  wheel data style={
    white,
    font=\em\bfseries\LARGE
  }
]{Red/WHY?,ForestGreen/WHAT?,RoyalBlue/HOW?}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
