Word games

Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but I just came across this site: http://www.freerice.com/

It's a vocabulary game (and very addictive, if you're into words as I am!) but with a twist: the sponsors donate free rice through the United Nations for every word you get right.

Check it out!

Thanks Yonuh! What a great idea! And you're right, it's very addictive - hard to quit when you know that every word gives more free rice.

My daughter sent me the link to this today. I had to stop at 310 grains of rice... it just keeps going and going...

I got somewhere up around 5500 gains and realized I had to just step awayyyyyy from the game. I can be obsessive...

5500??? Way to go!!! I made it to 1500 and was mentally exhausted! But still felt guilty stopping. Do you think that's part of the obsessiveness, knowing that the longer you go the more people get fed?

I put that link on my desktop, along with that site where you click for free mammograms and other charities ( http://www.thebreastcancersite.com/clickToGive ). It's good to know that I'm putting some of my computer playtime to good use!

Woa...it IS addictive! I sent the link to all my friends...what a great idea yonuh!

What a cool idea for a Web site. I continue to be amazed by the creativity of people on the internet.

Yee gads, talk about addctive. I am putting this on the Authors Society Forum so the authors there can play too.
