I'm not advertising, I'm sharing a cool site. And it's for a good cause.

It's a vocab game, and for every word you get right, they donate 10 grains of rice to the United Nations to help end world hunger.

I'm not sure if it's real or a hoax, but either way the vocab part is fun. My highest level so far is 41. (and I don't cheat, by the way)

freerice.com is connected to The World Food Programme, http://www.wfp.org/english/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeRice
the rice is sponsored by the ads on each page
if you look through the faq word difficulty is adjusted based on how many people get it wrong, which is kinda neat

nice find
I got to 40 without missing one, then it started throwing rather random words I havnt seen before...
...which is probably why I also cant do crosswords...

46 highest so far, 440 grains donated.

Edit: 50, 1100 grains. Took me awhile though.

Edit again: 50, 1280... got bored of it.
