For each word you get right, they donate 10 grains of free rice to help end world hunger.

    It's quite a fun way of expanding one's knowledge of words AND highlighting food issues, especially to kids.

    I was overjoyed to reach verbosity level 37 :D, whilst giving 1160 grains, which might I add isn't a lot, so c'mon people!
    It's BOUGHT (to Buy), not BROUGHT (to bring) AND you cannot be frauded, only DEfrauded.

    Please do not buy animals from a pet store. Visit your local sanctuary or centre and give a good home to an unloved or abandoned animal.

    This is a fantastic game! I got up to 44 but then the words got really obscure. Everyone should send this on to all their friends: how often do you get the chance to play a game that's addictive and educational AND helps end world hunger? Not very often!
