free rice
Heard this on the BBC this am. Guess it didn't do too well last week but then really picked up.
Know the correct definition and feed hungry people. Thought you vocab junkies would like it. http://freerice.com |

This is so cool
 I was doing pretty well and then they started in with some 50-cent words  Learned quite a few new ones! I will definitely be going back there - that was fun!

I managed to guess that "pibroch" is bagpipe music. That's fun, thanks.

I never get past 35. I like to put my vague knowledge of pre/ suf fixes to work. So glad rice doesn't get taken away with an incorrect guess.
How much rice do you earn before you stop? I sent it out to a few friends and one said he was at 4100 before he called it a night. I'd like to thing you kids are responsible in the huge jump: 9 November 2007 63,253,810 10 November 2007 122,377,240 11 November 2007 136,236,930 The first day the sight was launched: 7 October 2007 830 (someone wasn't too keen on promotion) Last edited by l'azizza : 11-13-2007 at 03:24 AM. |

as long as i'm over 40 i'm ok but as soon as it drops below 35 i'm completely lost-- until level 25 where i seem to know most words again. weird how there seems to be some sort of gap in my english vocabulary!
