How manyy of you have used google as spell-checker?
-
When you type something into the main textbox on google.com, it does not do the auto-completion thing based on what you have typed before. Instead, it tries to guess what you may want to search (the most popular search words that match what you typed?). I hate that. But now I found a different use for it: If I forgot how to spell a word, I will type it on google.com, the complete spelling will come up most of the times, much faster than online dictionary. :-D

Occasionally, usually I use it to get the definition of a word. Which it's very good at since it can give you a lot of different definitions from different sources.

That does not explain how you won three times in a row.

You, my good man, are amazing. All the more so considering your native language isn't English. I've only won it 3 times ever (Chinaman, Seastrand, Tarragon), and got a British colleague to give the answer once (the last one). One other time, I figured out the answer before even reading the question completely, but was beaten by Rajesh by a single minute. (Skulduggery)

No it did not go too well... If you figured out the starting of the word correctly, you may get something on google - but if you've got the middle of a word, google cannot do much to help.
