FreeRice - Help stop world hunger.
 

www.freerice.com


A fantastic website that lets you expand your vocabulary while simultaneously helping out those who starve in the world. Basically it'll give you a word and ask which out of four possibilities is it synonymous to.

For example:


Simply click the best answer, in this case I would click acclaim (approval with enthusiasm), and I'd get a message telling me I'm correct. On the right of the question board it'd tell me I've donated 20 grains of rice so far. If you don't get it right, FreeRice will tell you what word you should've picked, and no rice will be deducted.

If you get enough right in one go, it will reassess your vocabulary level and give you harder words to work with! The system works sort of like the experience points in fiesta, except you can't miss too many in a row or else you'll drop a vocabulary level. Hit enough, and you'll level up, receiving harder words to work with.

The rice is paid for through multiple sponsors, you can even become a sponsor yourself!

But of course the best way to understand how it works is to go there yourself! I really recommend everyone do this.

Some words are like WTH.

whodunit = detective story

LOL

I"m doing it now. What max level did you get? XD

=( that site makes me feel dumb

some of them seem like slang to me and I'm like WAITWUT D:

LMAO. Dyna got "tintinnabulation" - which means ringing. Wth, LMAO. MY PHONE IS TINTINNABULATION!

Edit: Gave up at level 26, XD.

Highest I've gotten is 40, but I usually average the mid 30's. But we're out for rice not ego! RICEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Got to 38, averaging around 33-35. Could have gone for more but didn't feel like it anymore.

I got to 11. Too lazy to go any further.

Some of these words are wtf. Or well... the options they give you. I got to 22 when I started getting bored.

pesky means:
full

;D

Got 51. Says I donated 1040 or something O_o

Gravid means pregnant @_@ {Totally guessed}

I have donated 1020 grains... D: I totally guessed half of em but they were right.

lingua means tongue... o.O

Too bad before I got a FireFox update...

I was at like 15000+ grains donated D:

and my level was 36 normally...

now it started me over =/

oh, i get to dictionary.com and use dictionary.com to make me cheat to get more rice to ppl

>.>

Coiffure = hairdo.

Wow nice coiffure this morning o.o'

Lol xD

You guys don't have a very big vocabulary. xD

I got bored after level 45.

My English teacher gives out extra credit when we do this as a class. xD

I get high level by cheating, go me :P

Eh, at least you're giving out rice... :P

i am giving out a lot of rice by cheating
so cheating is good, once in a while

Uh, huh! Magical rice that makes people sprout wings and fly to Neverland [Ranch]!!!

Jk. ;D

does that mean if i eat more rice, i'll go to neverland?

hmm how many bowls of rice would 2k grain give?

20, lmao. I guessed on a handful, but most are easy to pick apart if you're familiar with french or latin root words. xD

Where does the rice come from:eek:

O_________O

LOL.

o.o

LOL indeed

e-rice...

2k grains of rice isn't very much.

Your average Chipotle burrito contains 1k grains of rice.

. . .

Why do you know that?

Srsly.
