What is the order of the acid strength of these compounds?

Predict the acid strengths of the following compounds: H20, H2S, and H2Se.  Place them in order from greatest to smallest strength.

I thought it would be H20 > H2S > H2Se since that is the order of their electronegativities but it doesn't seem to be correct.
