Yes, and you can always go back and play more. Pass this along. Check out the sponsors at the bottom while you play. This thing can become HUGE.

I word games!

i love it!

Started on October 7th, Free Rice is a word game where you match a word with it's description. For every right match you donate (via sponsors) 10 grains of rice to the UN World food program.

Great idea--now that I read it all--at first glance, I though you were implying that Bush's lackey, Condi Rice, was quitting the Bush administration to repair her career!

Love this game. Must pull myself away.
Too much work to do to play

What a great website - every Sowaller should have a 300 grain a day minimum!



These people are geniuses - they made it a challenge! (You can get to level 50) Now I will keep coming back to beat my personal vocab score best of 42!

Heck, I don't know a lot of them--but it seems I'm a pretty good guesser!

How many grains of rice is considered a meal or a day's ration?

It made my head hurt..got to 45 before heading southward again. Cool idea.

I can't get past 46, but have made them donate thousands of grains!

Me, too. I didn't entirely agree with some of the definitions. Oh, well; it's for a good cause.

There were definitely a couple words that I totally KNEW the definitions of from high school english, but that definition wasn't an option.

Some of the words are just non-english names for stuff, while others I was guessing after dissecting the latin roots of. Weird.

When you get 100 grains, they put a bowl icon on the side - does that mean 100 grains is a meal?

love this thing.
