Canuckle is the Canadian version of Wordle where all the words are Canadian-themed. The rules of the game are the same where players need to guess the five-letter word with no clues.
Once a guess has been made, the tiles will change colour to let you know if the letters you have guessed are in the answer and if you have placed them correctly in the word.

The colours are slightly different, with just the bright red replacing the green to show you have the right letter in the correct place. Both of the other colours are the same, yellow and grey, letting you know if the letter is in the word or not.
There is also a fun fact that is given to you when you guess the answer and you can see the fun facts being expanded on, on their Twitter account, @CanuckleGame. We will be covering the answers, letting you know the fun facts at the end of the puzzle as well as giving you hints first to help you guess the word yourself!
