Got questions about how Canuckle works? Check out our quick answers below.
While standard Wordle uses any valid English words, Canuckle is specifically tailored with words related to Canada. Additionally, every time you solve a puzzle, you are greeted with an interesting fun fact about that specific word's relation to Canada.
The daily puzzle resets at midnight America/Toronto time (EST/EDT) every day, ensuring that players across Canada get a synchronized release of the new daily word.
Yes! You can toggle "Unlimited Mode" from the settings modal (using the gear icon in the header) or select it from the dropdown in the header. This lets you play infinite rounds continuously.
Your win streak is tracked separately for Daily Mode and Unlimited Mode. For Daily Mode, solving the puzzle on consecutive days increases your streak. Failing to solve a word, or missing a calendar day, resets your current streak.
Yes, we support a Light Theme (which changes the background color and increases text contrast) and a High Contrast Mode (which replaces Canadian Red and Gold with high-contrast Orange and Blue, making it easier for colorblind users to distinguish correct and present tiles).
To keep the game fun and spoiler-free for everyone, we don't reveal today's exact answer upfront! However, you can use the daily hint provided on our homepage to easily guess the word. If you are stuck, remember that every daily word is strictly a 5-letter word related to Canada's culture, geography, or history.
You have 6 attempts to guess a secret 5-letter Canadian word. Type a valid word and press Enter. The tile colors will change to give you clues: Red means the letter is correct and in the right spot; Yellow means the letter is in the word but in the wrong spot; Grey means the letter is not in the word at all.
Canuckle was originally created by Mark Rogers, a resident of Ottawa, Canada. He launched the game in early 2022 as a fun, Canadian-themed tribute inspired by Josh Wardle's viral word game, Wordle.
