February is Black History Month.

Every February, people across Canada participate in Black History Month events and festivities that honour the legacy of Black Canadians and their communities. Black History Month was established in February 1926. It wasn’t until December of 1995 that the House of Commons officially recognized February as Black History Month in Canada, following a motion introduced by the Jean Augustine, the first Black Canadian woman elected to Parliament.

Once considered a destination for freedom seekers, Chatham-Kent is home to some of the most successful Black settlements in Canadian History.

As of yesterday, Wordle is allowing previously used words to appear again.

This rule change means that familiar words from past puzzles may resurface, adding a new layer of strategy for daily players. For those who play every day, it could mean thinking twice before guessing what seems like an “easy” answer.

While new words will continue to appear, the reintroduction of old ones gives Wordle creators more flexibility in designing puzzles, keeping the game fresh while giving longtime players a nostalgic twist.
