This is a great site for Word Nerds! For each word you get right, the sponsors donate 20 grains of rice through the UN World Food Program. It's FREE, and you expand your vocabulary - so it's a win-win situation. Beware though - it's very addictive.

My daughters are on this site alot... It is really cool.

I play this game all the time -- I love it! I posted this link a while back in a post in the gaming thread and said that I would LOVE to see David play this.

I would love to see David play this too! I just can't get enough of it lol theres so many words I never knew before. I know this is OT willow but I was wondering what part of the blue ridge mounts. you are from?

Actually I live just outside of Lynchburg towards Bedford.

He, he he reaally nice game. Great idea to post it Diane

OOH I love this game now! So far I've donated 1100 grains, which makes me feel really good. But it is true that it's highly addictive!
Oh and while I was playing, David's song TOML came on the radio!! yay! coincidence?

It is not just to enrich our vocabulary skills but also helps others too.


Thanks for sharing!

Yay! I just got up to Level 47. My previous best was 46, but usually I stay around 44 or 45. Donated 1560 grains of rice. This game is too addictive.

check out my correct word! lol DC; smartening the world, one cookie at a time

i am so proud of myself!!
i donated 2000 grains!!
.... and i feel smarter


MAN THAT IS ADDICTING!!!

Haha, check it out.

haha!! that's so funny that you both got the same word!!

I love this game, my favourite part is where you can get the creepy voice to pronounce the word. I always play this in class on my lunch break. I get the girls to help me when I don't know the answer. It's a group effort

Thanks for sharing this

ooo - i didn't know there was sound. i usually have it off, as the little one is usually napping when i play. i'll have to try it like that sometime.

Oh wow. I found out about this on an Alter Bridge board and forgot all about it. Thanks for sharing this. I think I'll fix some tea, turn on some DC, and enjoy this nugget. It's been a while!

Ya, it's the little speaker with the curved lines beside it. It's usually to the right of the word.
It pronounces the word for you. It doesn't work every time, but it's pretty hilarious when it does.

Oh my gosh this game is insanely addictive!

sounds cooL .. Le' me try this one' too! hehe

I've played this before, it is pretty addicting, I always try to beat my previous vocab. level I just donated over 2,000! I might have to play again later...

I'm playing this right now.

omg, we played this in school!
We started probably in May and Ended in late June.
And evewryday we'd play, sometimes for an hour a day..
