You’re staring at a screen filled with "Fire," "Water," "Earth," and "Wind." It’s the digital equivalent of being a confused deity. Infinite Craft, Neal Agarwal’s browser-based alchemy sandbox, is basically a logic puzzle designed by a chaotic AI. Honestly, trying to figure out how to make Google in Infinite Craft feels like a fever dream because you have to navigate through the tech world, the internet, and sometimes even the concept of evil before you get that colorful "G" icon.
Most people start by mashing "Earth" and "Water" to make "Plant" and then get stuck in a loop of making "Forest" or "Tree." That’s fine if you want to be a digital gardener. But we’re here for the search engine titan. Making Google requires a very specific path through the evolution of technology and the web.
The Logic Behind the Search Engine
Infinite Craft uses a Large Language Model to predict what happens when two words collide. Sometimes it’s literal. Sometimes it’s a pun. To get Google, you generally need to combine "Internet" with something relating to search or computers.
But here is the kicker: there isn't just one way. Because the game is generative, users have discovered "Software" + "Search" works, as does "Internet" + "Library." However, the most reliable path—the one that won't leave you with a screen full of "Dust" and "Steam"—revolves around building a "Computer" first.
Getting to the Silicon Age
You can't have Google without a computer. It sounds obvious, but in Infinite Craft, "obvious" is a luxury.
Start by making "Dust" (Earth + Wind). Mix that "Dust" with "Earth" to get "Planet." Now, set that aside. You need "Fire" and "Water" to make "Steam," and "Steam" plus "Earth" gives you "Mud."
Why do you need mud? Because "Mud" and "Fire" make "Brick." A bunch of "Bricks" make a "Wall," and a "Wall" plus another "Wall" gives you a "House." This is where it gets nerdy. Mix that "House" with your "Planet" to get "Home."
Wait, that’s the long way.
Let's try the "Electricity" route. It’s faster. Mix "Fire" and "Steam" to get "Engine." Then combine "Engine" with "Wind" to get "Turbine." If you put "Turbine" and "Water" together, you get "Electricity." Now we are cooking. "Electricity" plus "Sand" (which is just "Dust" + "Ocean") gives you "Glass." "Glass" plus "Electricity" gives you the "Light Bulb."
The Birth of the Internet
Once you have "Electricity," you're halfway there. You need "Computer." To get there, combine "Electricity" with "Silicon." (If you don't have Silicon, mix "Sand" and "Fire" until you get "Glass," then iterate).
Actually, many players find it easier to go:
Electronics + Software = Computer.
Now, once you have "Computer," you need the "Internet." This is usually "Computer" + "Computer" (which makes a "Network") and then "Network" + "Network." Boom. You have the "Internet."
At this point, your screen is probably a mess. Clean it up. Double-click the background to clear the board, then find your "Internet" tile in the sidebar.
How to Make Google in Infinite Craft: The Final Fusion
Now for the main event. You have "Internet." Now you need "Search."
Search is often found by combining "Internet" and "Library." Or, if you’re feeling spicy, try "Internet" and "Book."
- Internet + Search = Google
- Internet + Library = Google
- Computer + Yahoo = Google (Yes, the game recognizes the corporate takeover vibes).
If you somehow ended up with "Alphabet" instead, just mix "Alphabet" with "Internet." The LLM behind the game knows that Google is a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc., though in the game's logic, it often treats them as interchangeable.
Why Some Recipes Fail
You’ve probably noticed that sometimes you combine two logical things and get "Batman." That’s the "Infinite" part of Infinite Craft. If you try to mix "Internet" and "Money," you might get "PayPal" or "Bitcoin" instead of Google. The game’s associations are based on high-frequency linguistic patterns.
Google is so ubiquitous that it acts as a "sink" element. This means many different paths eventually lead to it. If you have "Android" and mix it with "Engine," you’ll likely hit Google. If you have "Larry Page" (good luck making him) and mix him with "World Wide Web," you’ll get it instantly.
Beyond the Search Bar
Once you’ve cracked the code on how to make Google in Infinite Craft, the fun doesn't stop. Google is a building block for some of the most interesting tiles in the game.
- Google + Map = Google Maps
- Google + Video = YouTube
- Google + Fire = Gmail (Don't ask me why, the AI thinks mail is hot, I guess).
- Google + Earth = Google Earth
If you mix "Google" and "Evil," you might get "Don't Be Evil," or ironically, just "Google." The game has a sense of humor about the "Big Tech" era.
Advanced Crafting: The Alphabet Strategy
If you're looking for a First Discovery (those rare tiles nobody else has found), try mixing Google with extremely obscure items. Google + "Deep Fried Oreo" or Google + "Existential Dread."
The reality is that Infinite Craft is less about a "right" answer and more about the path you take. Some people spend three hours trying to find "Silicon" while others stumble into "Microchip" by accident while trying to make "Fish."
Troubleshooting Your Craft
If you are stuck and cannot find "Internet," go back to basics.
Wind + Fire = Smoke.
Smoke + Glass = Mirror.
Mirror + Light = Laser.
Laser + Fiber = Fiber Optic.
Fiber Optic + Electricity = Internet.
It’s a bit more "science-y," but it works. The beauty of this game is the "Aha!" moment when the logic finally clicks, even if that logic is slightly broken.
Actionable Next Steps for Crafters
Ready to dominate the sidebar? Here is how to keep your momentum:
- Organize by Type: Keep your "Tech" tiles in one corner of the screen. When you get "Google," immediately try mixing it with every "basic" element (Fire, Water, etc.) to see what products you can unlock.
- The "Search" Shortcut: If you can't get "Search," focus on "Paper" + "Library." To get Paper, mix "Wood" and "Water."
- Check for First Discoveries: Since you have a major brand like Google, try combining it with recent pop culture memes or very specific locations. Google + "Your Hometown" (if it exists in-game) could lead to a unique tile.
- Use the Reset Wisely: If your screen gets too cluttered, don't be afraid to wipe it. Your discovered recipes are saved in the sidebar on the right.
Stop overthinking the combinations. Sometimes the most "human" way to find an answer is to just keep smashing things together until the AI gives up and gives you what you want.

Check your sidebar for "Browser" or "Chrome" next—they're often just a "Google" + "Window" away. Keep experimenting, because the next update to the game's model might just change the recipes entirely. Once you have the tech tree unlocked, the game moves from a puzzle to a sandbox of pure, weird creativity. Go see if you can make "Google Glass" and then try to find a way to make it "Successful"—that might be the hardest craft in the game.
