Got this from Barbara [Life and Faith in Caneyhead]. Freerice.com is a game that benefits the hungry in the world. You are given a word and 4 possible meanings, only one of which is correct. If you give the correct answer, 20 grains of rice will be donated to the United Nations Food Programme. When you give an incorrect answer, you go down a level. When you give several correct answers, you go up a level. The maximum level is 50, although most people do not get beyond 48. My best level is 46, and this addictive game has yielded 2,200 grains of rice so far from me. How will you do?
i'll go try this.

4020 grains of rice later. Addicting game, yet for such a worthwhile cause. Then again I love words and anything that tries my intelligence even a little. Thanks for the heads up. (Hugs)
ReplyDeleteGlad to see word is getting around about this! Thanks. -- Barbara
