Want to help the world’s hungry while improving your vocabulary? Head on over to www.freerice.com and start clicking! This site operates on a simple premise: you choose the correct definition for the word on the screen and they donate 20 grains of rice to those in need. That’s it! You don’t have to sign up for anything or share any personal information. Just start clicking and watch the rice totals add up.
The site is funded by the advertisers whose banners appear on each page, you don’t have to do. Now 20 grains of rice may not sound like a lot, but it quickly adds up. So the more you play, the more you donate (and learn).
Each correct answer also increases the difficulty of the words you’re given and there are plenty of levels so players of all ages should find it challenging Level 1 words included “ocean,” “say,” and “last” while Level 40 features “alveolate,” “lunker,” and “drub.”
So what do you have to lose? Head on over and start clicking. And don’t forget to share your totals in the comments.
