Taylor Swift fans are solving Google's puzzles for hints about her new songs

If you're a fan of Taylor Swift, you're probably wishing you were better at puzzles right now.

Google is challenging Swifties to solve Taylor-related word puzzles in a new Easter egg, promising to reveal the titles of her upcoming new tracks once they hit 33 million correct solutions. Fans have dedicated themselves to the task like Batman facing the Riddler.

Swift is set to release her fourth re-recorded album on Oct. 27, this time tackling her 2014 album 1989. Like her previous re-recorded albums, 1989 (Taylor's Version) will also include a handful of unreleased songs that didn't make the cut for the original album.

Not much is yet known about these tracks aside from the fact that there are five. As such, Swifties are champing at the bit for any tiny morsel of information about the music Swift is freeing from her vault.

Announced on Tuesday, Google's new Easter egg appears when you search "Taylor Swift." Do so, and a blue vault will appear in the bottom right corner of your screen. Clicking it will then cause a Boggle-esque jumble of letters to appear, which can be unscrambled to reveal a word or phrase related to Swift. Type the answer into the search bar, hit enter, and if your answer is correct the vault will reappear to give you the next puzzle.

There are 89 unique puzzles to solve, delivered in an apparently randomised order. If each Swiftie solved all 89, a minimum of 370,787 people would be needed to reach Google's 33 million threshold. Considering Swift's significant fanbase, the number of people feverishly working through Google's word puzzles is likely significantly higher.

As such, it looks as though we'll be finding out the titles of Swift's new songs sooner rather than later. As of writing, nearly 22 million puzzles have been solved.
