Incorrect spelling, explanation: the word stucked is incorrect, as it’s based on the assumption that stuck is a present form, while it’s already a past tense of the verb stick. This would mean a double past tense, which is not used in English. What is more, stick is an irregular verb, so it doesn’t use the -ed suffix to create the past tense. If you’re unsure about the spelling of irregular verbs, it’s best to memorize them all, as there is no simple principle for creating them.

Correct spelling, explanation: stuck is a past tense of the verb to stick. The verbs may seem too different to be related, but it’s because it’s an irregular verb, meaning that the past tense is not created by simply adding -ed, but by changing the internal structure of the base word. In this case, stick becomes stuck and there is nothing more added to this word.
