I have been playing that in school

damjv Reviewed by damjv on 12-26-2007. freerice.com I work in a school and recently my teacher, looking for ways to encourage better vocabulary, stumbled on freerice.com. When you are bored, depressed, or just have a few minutes to spare, play the game! It is a very simple vocabulary game. Every time you guess right, 20 grains of rice are donated to the UN. There is no penalty for a wrong guess. One bowl (100 grains) at a time, it adds up. CNN had an article on this site. My Special Ed class donated 32,100 grains of rice yesterday. My Rating: 5

If each word i translate ACTUALLY donates 20 grains of rice, this is a pretty amazing (and simple) way to help the world community. My dream is to someday toke up with my grandma, if only she was as tight as you! :thumbsup:

50!- every time! I was raised on Scrabble and crosswords! lol Granny:hippy:

ps- just racked up 4200 grains of rice (420 ten times over) for this go-round! I'm working on a late gift for a friend- her family tree- and the downloads are S-L-O-W, so I pop back and forth and get the rice while I wait.

This is a great site.... I literally got over 2000 grains of rice in a few minutes of my lunch break... I can't seem to get above level 50 though.

I'm stuck at 42 but keep going down to 41 and earning it back. I can't seem to get any farther without screwing a word up. I got 4,000 grains of rice though.

50 seems damn impossible though. Are you guys using a dictionary? I'm no slouch in English myself.

[Storm Crow]

No, I don't use a dictionary. I tutored English in college, love word games and read a wide range of subjects. And somehow, a lot of it "sticks"!- Granny:hippy:
