Trying out the Google Guessing Rank (GGR) game outlined by Jon Scalzi, I got a kick out of watching what Google Suggest (it’s a beta) thought I might be searching for until I got four letters into my last name. Here’s the literal sequence if I type all the letters (counting even when it doesn’t change the guess, to make a prettier diagonal:
- cnn
- christmas
- christmas
- christmas
- christmas
- christmas
- christina aguilera
- christianity
- christianity
- christian dior
- christian coalition
- christian cross
- christian cruises
- christian crumlish
- christian crumlish
- christian crumlish
- christian crumlish
- christian crumlish
Big drop off in results with each new phrase, and I just barely missed the crusades along the way.
