What is the shortest string of letters that yields no results in a Google search?
When answering, please use the NATO alphabet in order to prevent the string from becoming a search result.
Scoring:
E - 57 N - 34 P - 16 K - 6
A - 43 S - 29 M, H - 15 V - 5
R - 39 L - 28 G - 13 X, Z, J, Q - 1
I - 38 C - 23 B - 11
O - 37 U - 19 F, Y - 9
T - 35 D - 17 W - 7
The best string that I could come up with is:
Echo, Bravo, Quebec, Echo, Tango, X-ray, Echo, Alpha (262 pt)
When you enter strings below eight letters, license plates, domain names and email addresses begin to appear. If a seven letter string is found, it will be difficult to match or beat.
NOTE: an eight letter string will always beat a nine letter string, but a 200 point 8 letter string will beat a 100 point 8 letter string.
NOTE: If Google automatically redirects, such as in the case of
Alpha, X-ray, Echo, Quebec, Echo, Echo, Echo, Echo (Credit: Glorfindel)
but there are no results for the actual string, it is accepted.
