New Delhi: Google has quietly slipped a familiar bit of internet chaos into its most serious product. The search bar. Without any announcement or blog post, the company has added a small interactive Easter egg tied to one of 2025’s biggest viral trends, the oddly addictive “6-7” meme.
If you spend even ten minutes a day scrolling through TikTok, Instagram, or X, you have likely seen or heard it. The chant. The sound. The strange energy that makes no real sense but still spreads everywhere. Now that same energy has landed on Google Search, and users are discovering it one search at a time.

Google Search joins the 6-7 internet moment
Google has a long habit of hiding playful tricks inside Search, from spinning pages to hidden games. This time, the company is tapping straight into youth internet culture. Typing “67” into Google Search triggers a visual effect that makes the results page move and shake, almost like it is dancing along with the meme.
There is no explanation on the page. No tooltip. No warning. It just happens. I tried it late at night while checking scores and suddenly my screen started moving. For a second I thought my browser had broken. Then it clicked. Six seven.
The Easter egg feels deliberate but quiet, very much in line with how Google often lets users discover things on their own.
How to activate the 6-7 Google Easter egg
There is no complicated setup or hidden menu. Google has kept it simple.
To trigger the effect, users only need to do this:
- Open a web browser
- Go to Google Search
- Type “67” without quotes
- Wait for the results page to load
Once the page loads, the screen animates and reacts in a way that mirrors the meme’s chaotic vibe. It takes barely ten seconds, but it is enough to make people smile or feel confused, sometimes both.
What does “6-7” even mean
That confusion is part of the point. Dictionary.com officially named “67,” pronounced “six-seven,” as its 2025 Word of the Year. The platform described it as slang that thrives on absurdity rather than definition.
“Because of its murky and shifting usage, it’s an example of brainrot slang and is intended to be nonsensical and playfully absurd,” Dictionary.com noted.
The phrase is often used to mean something like “so-so” or “maybe this, maybe that,” but many people use it without any meaning at all. Teachers and parents began hearing it in classrooms. Kids say it just to say it. That randomness is the appeal.
From rap song to TikTok takeover
The roots of the trend trace back to rapper Skrilla’s 2024 track “Doot Doot (6 7),” where the phrase is repeated as a hook. Editors and creators on TikTok picked it up quickly, pairing the sound with sports clips, jokes, and reaction videos.
NBA player LaMelo Ball became closely tied to the trend, partly because he is 6 feet 7 inches tall. The connection turned into a running joke online. Ball himself leaned into it, telling ESPN that kids now often shout “six-seven” at him and joking that it is his “new nickname.”
The trend exploded further after a viral clip showed a boy chanting “six-seven” into the camera at a basketball game. The internet quickly named him “The 67 Kid,” and the phrase went even more mainstream.
Why Google leaning into memes matters
Google adding the 6-7 Easter egg may look like a small joke, but it reflects something bigger. Search is no longer just about answers. It is also about staying culturally relevant, especially with younger users who live inside trends.
This Easter egg does not change how Search works. It does not sell anything. It just acknowledges the internet moment people are already living in.
And sometimes, that is enough.
