Google Search 's ability to search is excellent, but there are also functions - tricks , which are useful in their own way and can be activated simply by going to google.com.
1) Roll a die
One of the most popular tricks in Google search is to type “roll a die” to roll a die. Click the “Roll” button to continue rolling the dice, and add additional dice with different numbers of sides by clicking the buttons below the rolling image. You can also specify the number of dice you want and the number of sides they have.

2) Check your grammar
Make sure you don’t make any grammatical errors by typing the phrase or sentence you want to check, followed by the phrase “check grammar.” You’ll either get a green check mark, meaning everything is fine, or you’ll get a correction that you can copy to your clipboard. Otherwise, Google won’t recognize anything and will return normal search results.
3) Dog
Ideal for dog lovers. If you search for the word “Dog”, you will find information about our beloved four-legged friends.
However, on the right side of the screen there is a dog paw. When you click on it, a dog paw will appear wherever you click.
4) Cat
It works exactly like “Dog”, it just displays a cat's paws.
5) Animal sounds
Options for playing animal sounds are expected.
6) Access a bubble level
To check if a surface is flat, you can use the bubble level feature available on Google. Just make sure you're using Chrome for Android or iOS to enable it. It's important to note that this feature isn't available on desktop computers, as they don't have the necessary sensors to detect whether something is flat or not.
Type “bubble level” into Google Chrome for mobile and it will appear (you may need to give Chrome permission to access the necessary features). The bubble level works in any direction, so you can tell if something is parallel or perpendicular by using the edges of your phone or by placing the level. Plus, you can see the angle in degrees.
7) Have numbers written as words
Google can instantly tell you that 173,232,934 is one hundred seventy-three million, two hundred thirty-two thousand, nine hundred thirty-four: Just type your number into Google search and add “=english” to the end. You no longer have to worry about how to say a particularly large number.

8) Play Pac-Man
When you search for “pac-man” on Google, you won’t just get the usual search results for the classic video game. You can actually play it right in your browser, simply by clicking “Play” below the Pac-Man graphic. The gameplay and controls are very simple – just use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move around.
9) Play Solitaire
Among the games, the classic “Solitaire” is built right into the Google Search box. Just type “Play Solitaire” and it will automatically appear. Then click the “Play” button on the game widget to get started. Although it’s not the most challenging game, it’s a fun time-saver and offers two different difficulty levels to choose from.
10) Start a metronome
If you just want to rest your mind for a while, just type “metronome” into the Google search box. You’ll be able to set the beats per minute, then simply click the blue play button to start counting. The metronome can be adjusted to your desired speed (from 40 bpm to 218 bpm)
11) Go through a breathing exercise
Are you feeling tired from the pressure of the day? Are you feeling stressed about all the things you have to deal with? Search for the phrase “breathing exercise” in Google Search and you will find a simple 1-minute exercise that you can follow directly from your browser.
12) Tell Google you're curious
Of course, there are interesting facts on the site, but if you tell Google you're feeling curious, you'll get a little dose of trivia from one of the sites Google has crawled. This is ideal if you have a quiz to complete or if you want to use a few relaxing minutes with something educational.
You can refresh the page to get new information all the time. During tests with Google's search tool, we discovered who occupies the place of the $500 bill, who was the last person to walk on the moon, the phenomenon of body shivering, and the percentage of the population that considers itself ambidextrous.
13) Start a timer
Add the word “timer” to the Google Search box to bring up the timer function along with the timing tool.
Type “stopwatch” to go directly there. Your options aren’t too limited, but it’s handy to have direct access through your browser. You can also be more specific about your timer, for example: “Start timer for 10 minutes and 17 seconds.”.

14) Flip a coin
Using “flip a coin” in Google Search is similar to “rolling a die.” You’ll see an image of a coin flipping before heads or tails appear. If you want to repeat this, click the button below. However, you can’t flip multiple coins at once. If you’ve made a decision you’re not sure about, this is definitely one of options .
