Office productivity could be set to drop with solitaire, one of the most-loved computer games since Windows 3.0, now available to anyone with access to Google.

Google has built the card game into its search engine so all you need to do is type 'solitaire' into the search bar, and play to your heart's content.

The noughts and crosses game Tic-Tac-Toe is also available. Both games can be played on desktop and smartphone, including in the Google Search App.

The games mark yet another evolution of what started out as a simple search engine.

The company said in its announcement that playing games is not all you can do.

If you need to flip a coin but don't have any cash, typing 'flip a coin' will settle your bet.
