word adventure

I am not a good speller but I thought the word I wanted to use was "embullient." It was not in my dictionary. So I googled "embullient" and came up with a couple of hits that made me suspicious. One post said "embullient clemency" could not be used as a Googlewhack.

A Googlewhack?

www.dictionary.com comfirmed that "embullient" was not a word and gave me a list of possible words. My word, of course, was "ebullient."

Next step -- finding out what a Googlewhack was.

It's game where two words (both must be listed at www.dictionary.com ) produce only one Google hit.


The game has been around for about five years. The home page is
http://www.googlewhack.com/ And there are thousands of word pairs listed.

I wish all misspelled words produced such a moment of fun.
