Great game- if you're of school or university age, I'd recommend playing this and showing it to your instructors. They emphisize vocabulary so much for SATs, it's bound to score you points.
This is how it works- it calibrates itself to the upper ranges of your vocabulary, so that you'll be learning, regardless of where you are. There are fifty levels. With every three words you get correct, it makes the words a level harder. With every word you miss, you fall a level.
Even better, with every answer you get correct, advertisers at the bottom of the screen pay the site (which is a venture of WFO, World Food Organization) enough money to buy ten grains of rice. They buy from local growers in Africa, and distribute the food to starving regions. Three hundred grains make up a teaspoon. Three thousand make up a quarter of a cup- one serving.
If you play, keep tally of your average vocabulary level here, and the grains you earn every time you play.

Nice find.
I only got to VOCAB LEVEL 43 and donated 210 grains of rice. But I'm a not that literate. And not bad for only 15mins. If I was not literate I can do lots better but oh well, that is the hand I was given in life.
