They all mean "way" or "method", but each have their own nuances. This
[post](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/6823/difference-
between-%E9%81%8A%E3%81%B3-%E6%96%B9-and-%E9%81%8A%E3%81%B6-%E6%96%B9%E6%B3%95)
is explaining the difference between 方法 and 方, so I guess we could focus on
the difference of 仕方 with the other two. Are there any other words that could
be similar and have a slight different meaning?

Difference between 方法, 仕方 and simply 方?
Since you have read the link you provided I assume you are comfortable with
adding 方 to the masu-stem of a verb to mean 'way of doing verb' e.g. 食べ方 (way
of eating). The question is, what happens when you have a する verb? You might
think something like 勉強しかた would be correct but, just like other uses of する,
this one is irregular. The correct way to write it would be 勉強の仕方. So, quite
simply, 仕方 is used with する verbs.

You could replace 仕方 with 方法 to get 勉強の方法 but this is just the formality
difference discussed in your linked post. Replacing 仕方 with 方 would be
ungrammatical.

仕方 also appears in set phrases like 仕方がない ("it can't be helped").
