UPDATE:

There's an official way to score your Googlewhacks that I wasn't aware of.

Basically everything is the same except you

multiply your results

This provides more of a challenge as to find the perfect balance of high results for both words

PLease use this method in score reporting

My record using the official multiplication way

biomechanical sawhorses

4,024,800,000




Most Googlewhacks involve combinations of uncommon or rare words ..

The more common a word is, the harder it is to include it in a Googlewhack

Two common words in a Googlewhack is the most challenging


I have an idea on how to score Googlewacks based on the commonness of the words used..

First, find a Googlewhack (try to use as common as you can words). Remember, word lists don't count.

Then do a Google search on each word in your Google whack (the more common a word is, the more results it will get)

Add the results from both words (UPDATE: Multiply them for the official way).. and that is your Googlewhack score.

Here's an example.

My Googlewhack is biomechanical sawhorses

A search for biomechanical has 129,000 results

A search for sawhorses has 31,200 results

My Googlewack score: 160,200

Official multiplied score is 4,024,800,000


My new Googlewhack record[/b] (addition way)

sex hasenpfeffers

157,000,031

Sex only gets 157,000,000 results

and Pseudorhombicuboctahedron is not listed in dictionary.com ... Thus not a true Googlewhack ;)

Both words need to be underlined (linked) in the blue part

And you used a list for your result..,



Nice try though :p

FAQ

makes more sense .. didn't know there was already a scoring system..

guess that prevents everyone from using sex as one of their words ;)


I'll update my first post

The goal is to get two really common search words, and when put together they have very few results, ideally one. But, both the words have to be able to be looked up at dictionary.com, so "That AndyTriboletti" would not qualify. ;)

Sabellian + cauliflower

close, 2 matches together, both in the dictionary.

Sabellian + sublingual gland

got a match of 1, but i don't think it qualifies since there is 3 words. it's in dictionary.com
