Check out this vocabulary building game that also feeds the hungry!

I found this site from a link someone posted on PsychCentral.

http://www.freerice.com/index.php

For every word you get right, the sponsors will donate 10 grains of rice to a hungry person through an international aid agency.

The highest level I've reached so far is level 40.

 

Cool! I got to 45 -- 200 grains (nm) » Deneb

I think that means I read too much, and that I like to eat.
Thanks for posting the link, Deneb. It was fun and it's a great way to make a bit of a difference!

Me too!!

I made it to 47, but wandered back to stay around 45.

There are so many medieval words! My reading habits came in handy there. :)

ok, I got to 50. But only for a couple of words. :)

 

Got to 43 -- 3,040 grains. Had to quit for sleep.

This is my first post at PB.

I have been lurking for many months so I feel like I know something about many of you. I played this word game for an hour last night and seemed it would go on forever. Also, the words start to duplicate after a while. I had to quit to go to bed.

It's strange because my unipolar depression with GAD has been so severe for most of my adult life that my concentration has been diminished to where I have not read a novel in over 25 years. I really can't read much at all but just end up watching tv or films.

Anyway, thanks for the forum,
CM

Welcome to Babble! I'm glad you decided to stop lurking and join us -- that always gives me a warm feeling, when someone new joins us after reading for a while. It's good to have you here, and I hope you stick around.

And I know what you mean about it seeming as though you could go on forever. It took a lot for me to stop, and I only did with the idea that I'd go back and do it again soon...

Thanks for the welcome Racer. We may even be neighbors as I too live(suffer) in San Francisco.

Okay so I should have been working, but I am helping feed the hungry.

35, 320 grains of rice thanks to some pretty lucky guesses.

I thought that was the answer to that question of, you know, life, the universe, and everything?
