Why a themed Wordle feels different
In plain Wordle, every common word is a possible answer. In Canuckle the theme cuts the list down, so a single yellow can point you straight to a topic. Once you know two letters, ask yourself which Canadian words could contain them, rather than which English words could.
Before you start Canuckle
- Open with a Canadian word, not a plain one. MAPLE and MOOSE test common letters and fit the theme.
- Keep Canadian spellings in mind. They follow the British style in words such as colour.
- Province and city names can turn up, so do not rule out proper nouns too early.
- If you are not from Canada, a quick look at a map before you play helps more than you would think.
