Google Hack for Writers

I just discovered an amazing Google hack called a “Google Duel for Writers” created by Geoff Peters, a Computing Science and Business student at Simon Fraser University in BC, Canada.

Google Duel for Writers is an amazing way of finding out which words (or phrases) from a group of synonyms, rank higher on Google. You simply type in up to 10 words or phrases into GoogleDuel fields and the results pop up in a few seconds.

I typed in the following 7 words:
ambience
mood
environment
feeling
nuance
context
scenario

I then clicked on the ‘Let the duel begin’ button. Guess what won?

“Environment” took the victory stand with 25.2 million mentions.

“Context” got just 10.1 million mentions.
“Ambience” got a measly 412,000 mentions.

The original Google Duel works for any 2 words.
