ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Googlewhack

A googlewhack is when someone types two words into the Google search bar and gets exactly one result. Imagine you're playing a game and you're trying to find two words that no one else has ever put together before. It's like trying to find a needle in a haystack!

For example, you might type in "purple zebra" and Google might tell you that there are only 17 results that match both words. But if you type in "yellow banana", there will be millions of results!

The goal of the game is to find two words that are so rare that only one web page will show up in the Google search results. It's like winning a prize or solving a difficult puzzle.

People play this game for fun, and sometimes they even challenge their friends to see who can find the most googlewhacks in a certain amount of time. So, next time you're bored and want to exercise your brain, give googlewhacking a try!
