Wow, Bob Saget was way more popular than I would have expected. So much of the first list is around death. Bring back happy searches, like Surprise Kitten!

It made me so happy that TFG was not on any of those lists.

I’m surprised that Ukraine was so far down some of the relevant lists. I feel like I read articles daily but I also know I seek them out for myself.

Lol, most of those searched terms are five letter words, so I bet they were Wordle answers. I know “rupee” was.

Oh. I didn't make that connection, but it makes much more sense than Americans not knowing what a fucking rupee is!

Wordl. Those have all been wordl solutions. I argued with H about homer, saying it was slang and not an actual word.

Oh, that explains it!!  I always forget the wordl word the second I solve it.
