You can now play solitaire and tic-tac-toe directly in Google search results

Goodbye productivity.

You can now play solitaire or tic-tac-toe directly in Google's search results. Just search for solitaire or tic-tac-toe in the search engine on the web or from your phone, and you'll get a playable version of either game above the search results.

Google's take on solitaire is fairly basic, but you do get the option of selecting between easy and hard difficulty levels.

As for tic-tac-toe, you get to choose between easy. medium, and impossible levels, as well as the ability to play against a friend.

Google has baked in additional features into its search results as well. Searching for "flip a coin" generates a virtual coin toss, and typing "what sound does a horse make" provides an audio result.
