This appears to be broken. After going a few rounds and getting nothing right, I "cheated" in another window, and it was still marking everything wrong.
I got the same question twice, answers that were right the first time (and obvious) weren't included the second time. Fun concept, though, it'd be interesting to play multiplayer.

I looked through the code, and it looks like there is ZERO back-end validation for this request:
The only problem I have with this is that it's wrong[0], but it's still kinda fun.
[0] I clicked on a category and it said "I think I have", so I cheated and typed into Google "I think I have" and looked at the top suggestions from Google. But when I entered the top suggestion from Google into this website, this website said I had entered the #2 suggestion. And when I entered another suggestion straight from Google, the website said it was wrong.
This is due to Google's search personalization, and/or because I'm betting this site is using Google's custom search API, which often returns fairly different results from normal search.
I did a few rounds and something like 'coffee is too' and my answers 'hot' 'dark' 'weak' all resulted in fails. unless its search a different language i don't think this is regional.
I thought this said GoogleFreud. I clicked hoping that my searches would have some judgment or analysis along side the results.
Search: Is calorie counting actually useful?
Result: Does Counting Calories Actually Count? [nutrition.org]
Freud: Being entirely honest with oneself is a good exercise.
There is actually a whole board game based on autocomplete results[1] which is like a cross between Balderdash and Cards Against Humanity. Players create their own autocomplete results and then try to guess the real one. This review is pretty accurate: One of the best elements of this game is the sociological knowledge you get out of each round. "What, people really search for that?" is a common response.[2]
This is a great concept, it doesn't work. After I got a few I knew were right, I cheated and it's not working. Maybe it works in some other version of google than mine.
Fun game, it tells a lot about how the masses would think about something (they most often it feels like the people who search google most are mostly 10 yr old).
