Editing Googlewhack (section)

''[[New Scientist]]'' has discussed the idea of a ''Googlewhackblatt'', which is similar to a Googlewhack except that it involves finding a ''single word'' that produces only one Google result. Lists of these have become available, but as with Googlewhacks, they result in the Googlewhackblatt status of the word being destroyed—unless it is blocked by [[robots.txt]] or the word does not produce any Google results before it is added to the list, thus forming the Googlewhackblatt Paradox. Those words that do not produce any Google search results at all are known as ''Antegooglewhackblatts'' before they are listed—and subsequently elevated to Googlewhackblatt status if it is not blocked by robots.txt.

Feedback stories are also available on the ''New Scientist'' website, thus resulting in the destruction of any existing Googlewhackblatts that are ever printed in the magazine. Antegooglewhackblatts that are posted on the Feedback website become known as ''Feedbackgooglewhackblatts'' as their Googlewhackblatt status is created. In addition, ''New Scientist'' has more recently discovered another way to obtain a Googlewhackblatt without falling into the Googlewhackblatt Paradox. One can write the Googlewhackblatt on a website, but backward, and then search on [[elgooG]] to view the list properly while still keeping the Googlewhackblatt's status as a Googlewhackblatt.

In contrast to Googlewhacks, many Googlewhackblatts and Antegooglewhackblatts are nonsense words or uncommon misspellings that are not in dictionaries and probably never will be.

Practical use of specially constructed Googlewhackblatts was proposed by [[Leslie Lamport]] (although he did not use the term).<ref>[http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/lamport/tla/www9.html Archival References to Web Pages] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090827034350/http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/lamport/tla/www9.html |date=27 August 2009 }}, Ninth International World Wide Web Conference: Poster Proceedings (May 2000)</ref>
