So, this game is pretty spiffy. You learn additional vocabulary (totally not scary), and for every word correctly defined, this site donates 20 grains of rice toward ending world hunger. Everybody wins :)

What a grand idea :]
I definitely need the new vocabulary as well. Hahah.

Though...

"bishopric = diocese"
I don't know what either mean, lucky guess I had there.



"Be nice. Think happy thoughts. Champion silver linings. Love all things (not just cute things like babies and kittens) & when you do love - love like they do in power ballads (you know like on a cliff with the wind in your hair and your eyes shut, knowing you'll never know love like this). Watch out for dog poo. Smile at people - even grumpy ones. Remember anything is possible & whatever you do always try to look on the bright side."

If they really wanted to end world hunger you'd think they'd make the game a little easier...

also, if they're going to donate all this rice...surely they must already have the rice in bags & like...take little scoops out...therefore...why not just give it all in the first place?

I think so many people play it that they must just wait til a number of people combined get a whole bag and then donate that. Don't think they'd be like 'well, Emily only won you 2 grains so that's your lot'!

If FreeRice has the rice to give, why not give it all away right now?

FreeRice is not sitting on a pile of rice―you are earning it 20 grains at a time. Here is how it works. When you play the game, advertisements appear on the bottom of your screen. The money generated by these advertisements is then used to buy the rice. So by playing, you generate the money that pays for the rice donated to hungry people.

Read the FAQs Lucy :P

I'm surprisingly good at this, my guessing is amazing.

They posted a link to it on www.asofterworld.com. Although, that might not be how Nessa found out about it. :)
