===========================================================
Howdy folks,
I found this cool-as word game, and have decided to start it on WebmasterWorld:
This is very similar to the friday word game, here's how it works:
I start of with a word, and after that word, another member has to put a word in front of it, but if he/she does put a word in front of it, the person has to make sure the words (includes that persons) bring atleast 1 result in Google.

When we come to the point where there are no other words we can put in front of the phrase that will bring atleast 1 result (in Google), we start a new set and we will do 3 sets every tuesday and the set has the most number of words in a phrase for that week, is recorded and on every tuesday, at the bottom of the person who started the Google game for that week, should have a message saying:

Last time's highest score = ----------------

which we gotta beat this time in any of our 3 sets.

Hope this was understandable, so,um, what are we waiting for? here I go:

===========================================================
Todays SET 1 starting word:

[google.com...]

(the next person put do put as plus ("+") after it and then the word)

Good luck!,
Sid

Phrase, as in surrounded by quotes?
Otherwise words like "I", "in" etc won't be included...

So, are we searching for an actual phrase, or just a list of words that form a phrase? What about words that are excluded from the search?

[google.com...]

And what about Google's 10 word limit? :(

Sorry, but this doesn't make much sense. If there is only 1 result left, just add any word from that result and the game can go on and on and on. Until the 10 words limit is reached, that is.

E.g.:
[google.com ]

sidyadav, good attempt.

Tinker around to see if something can be made for the restrictions posed by Sinner_G and 10 words limit.

Anyone using it, does it?
