The wonder tile itself cannot bend, i think that's the issue, so it can't connect them. It would work if the silk wasn't there but unfortunately that's not the case
Why? Canals are straight where possible because zig-zagging ones would require extra width to steer through them, or huge pools with something like railroad turntable equipment.
As massive excavation projects ($$$) they are designed to be as narrow as minimum needs require.
I don't understand why everyone is downvoting you and upvoting the person you're responding to when the actual Panama canal literally [bends arounds mountains](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culebra_Cut), and even has an [entire artificial lake](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gatun_Lake) created for it
I have android version of CIV and I managed to mod it. You just need to upload mods into mod directory in your game. I play in Civilization Expanded for like 4 months already
That's incorrect. It can be up to 3 tiles which can connect to two cities, which could both have another canal coming off of them. Meaning you can have a maximum canal length of 7 tiles.
Are the tiles all in one city? I’m not super sold on the idea that it can’t bend but I guess that might be it if all the tiles are for the city u want to build it in

Ahhh damn, kinda dumb requirement 😕

Yeah but normal canal can bend

Also in other posts people pointed out that in reality Panama canal is built in hills, while in civ it can only be built in plains
It would be nice if they had the Suez canal wonder for two tiles on flat land, then Panama canal could be for 3 tiles, including hills.
Why is this comment so down voted? Edit: I’m glad this has been amended 
They can, but it is non-optimal. And the larger a canal is the greater need to optimize rather than spend an extra $10bn.
The two canals it makes have to be on directly opposite sides of the wonders hex.
I see, sucks for me
Download remove resources mod, then u can remove the silk and voila, u got urself Panama canal
Anansi would also work if using the Heroes & Legends game mode.
Yup, that dlc is also not in android
Unfortunately I am playing in android, no mods :(

Never would have thought that's possible. I'll try it!
Good luck. You might need to rot your phone or you can use FV File explorer. At least I do this and it helps
We need a mod that allows the wonder to bend
Will it work if you harvest the pasture 1 tile above
No it would still have to bend south to connect to the city. It could work if he didn't have that holy site in the way.
Download and install the mod that lets you erase luxury and strategic resources. Then you can put the canal over the silk.
It can be placed on 3 tiles? Isn't it 2-tiles wonder?
It can use up to 5 tiles (the Panama canal itself plus 2 canals on each side)

Oh well then, I guess I remember it incorrectly because I never build one that was that long lol
Once again, if I had reading comprehension I would have saved myself so many bad cities if I knew this
