Wordle, the viral word game where you guess a 5-letter word, is everywhere. It’s in group chats, in Slack threads, and all over social media. There are Wordle clones, and clever spins on the format. Someone — in a major asshole move — even created a Twitter bot that spoiled Wordle for avid players. But here’s something a little more pure: Google, the search engine, has a cute little Easter egg for players searching for the game. Here, give it a go: Open Google Type in Wordle

I know, I know, you’re tired of Wordle. Just mute the word “wordle” on Twitter and don’t be like the guy who made a Wordle-spoiling bot and got banned from Twitter today for being a party pooper (actually, it’s because it’s against Twitter guidelines to make a bot that is designed to bother people, but that’s some definitively party-pooping behavior). Okay, now that we’re alone — all the curmudgeons have closed out of the article — let’s talk about Wordle…. Source link

The Google app on iOS appears to have gotten a new Easter egg: a rather entertaining little pinball app hidden away in the “Tabs” menu. The game appears to have been added a few weeks ago, as spotted by several YouTube videos and a Reddit post in the middle of June.

It’s been a while since we’ve seen a good Easter egg out of Google. Not too long ago it felt like someone would discover a new hidden gag in Google’s products every few weeks.

The latest: with the right search terms, you can make the Google search page act like an early aughts media player thats been left idling too… Source link

A very happy 80th birthday to Pele, the all-time Brazilian soccer great. Google decided to mark the occasion with an Easter Egg that some users have discovered and are sharing on Friday. First, type in “Pele” to Google. Then, scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page. Where you’d normally see “Gooooooogle” is now “Goooooooooal.” Click on the floating soccer ball and watch as the “L” boots it at the “G,” which pulls of a bicycle kick right into the net, and all… Source link

Legendary soccer player Pelé turned 80 on Friday, and Google paid tribute with a special treat hidden within search. When you search for “Pele” on Google, scroll down to the very bottom of results. You’ll notice instead of Google with several O’s in between to signal additional pages of results, it spells out the word “Goal” with 10 O’s. That 10th “O” is replaced by a bouncing soccer ball. When you click on it, users will see an animation showing the “G” performing a bicycle kick of the ball… Source link
