As the number one search engine in the world, Google more often than not delivers the right information for its users.

But sometimes, it messes up with the search results too.

Try to search for the word “anagram”.

At the search results page, there’s a question for all of us – Did you mean: nag a ram

Nag A Ram, Anagram

An anagram is a type of word play, the result of rearranging the letters of a word or phrase to produce a new word or phrase, using all the original letters exactly once.

Yes, “nag a ram” is the anagram for “anagram”.

Apparently, Google’s programmers put it there as an easter egg.

Cool.
