The Six Degrees of Wikipedia

You can connect almost any two topics on Wikipedia in six clicks or fewer. This digital phenomenon mirrors the famous social theory that everyone on Earth is connected by a short chain of acquaintances.

The Wiki Game challenges players to navigate from one random article to another by only clicking internal links. Because Wikipedia acts as a massive map of human knowledge, these links create a dense web of connectivity. Mathematicians have studied these paths to understand how information clusters together in the modern age. It is a surprisingly addictive way to explore how everything in our world is subtly linked.
