So it's not *exactly* a game that can be played in this post, but it *is* a word game! :]

Here is the rundown : The game is played by selecting one out of four words that could describe a given word! For every word correct, you donate 20 grains of rice to a hungry people!

I think it's a great way to end illiteracy, and promote growth in literacy! It also has banners for signatures, and I think it's great. I'm one of those people who hate to see someone starve, so play the game! It isn't a loop at all, unless you spend a bonanza* of hours on it!

So, if you want to help end world hunger, or if you want to just play a quick refresher game, choose this!

* = I think I missed that word on a spelling test today n.n

When I saw this I was like: "Oh my god! Someone goes on free rice!" Because I go on it all the time.

One morning I stumbed across it and ended up spending hours to donate rice. My score was in the hundreds and I had donated several thousands of grains of rice. Great game, and a good vocabulary builder.

My English teacher would love you for posting this.
When we were doing ACT prep on the computer, she'd stop us at ten minutes and make everyone play it.

I actually, kinda cheated. After a while, the words got hard, so I started using an online dictionary.

I love this game.

Oh, wow. Quite enjoyable! As I said in my introduction, I enjoy broadening my vocabulary, and later into the game, that certainly was inevitable. I used Google Image Search to get imagery of the word to see if I can make a better guess. Ha!

In my journalism class, if you were on the internet and not doing research for articles, you were on Free Rice. It was the only other site we were allowed to access. ^w^
