Understand the boundary
The three territories are Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Nunavut was established in 1999; Northwest Territories is one territory despite its plural name. Ontario and Quebec are provinces, so neither qualifies. The Government of Canada’s list separates the two categories.

Canada Post lists YT, NT and NU. Those are accepted aliases for the same answers here, with the same fixed points: Yukon 40, Northwest Territories 55 and Nunavut 75. NWT is another explicit alias in our set; it is not Canada Post’s two-letter code. Learn the full place name with its abbreviation rather than guessing a code from initials.
Worked examples — reveals answers
- NT · Accepted
- Canada Post’s abbreviation for Northwest Territories; resolves to the same 55-point answer.
- Nunavut · Accepted
- A territory established in 1999. NU is its accepted postal alias.
- Ontario · Outside this set
- One of the ten provinces. Its postal abbreviation does not turn it into a territory.
Practice the distinction
Before checking, decide whether ON and NT should have the same result. Both are postal abbreviations, but only one identifies a territory. Then enter a qualifying full name and its code and compare their scores.
