I got this site address in an email.

They donate 20 grains of rice for every word-definition you get right and you can keep going as long as you want to.

How odd.

The page you posted shows they donate 10 grains of rice for each correct definition but the site page shows 20 grains.

Xodian. It adds up fast, especially when many are contributing.

I am so addicted. I couldnt sleep last night, and played for over two hours. I dont know how much was donated. Something over 650,000 grains.
How convenient that I love games like this.

This is a great site. I've spent a lot of time there, in the past ~ I'll have to make sure to visit again, when I have more time.

Well, I'm gratified to see so many helping those who need help.

Almost everyone wants to be helpful but this is help in a way most meaningful to those who need it.

They will never know your names or who you really are. They may never even know where their help came from but you will know that you took the time to help those in dire need When they needed it the most.

Can't thank you enough, jwhop, not only for sharing this site but for also sharing your compassion with us. I'm so addicted to this site, I "play" on it a bit everyday. It does add up!

Well, the site is somewhat addictive as I've found. I generally manage to go there 2-3 times a day and I'm happy to see others are racking up the rice grains.

As embarassing as this may be for me, I'm gonna have to "go there" and ask what's the highest Vocab level you've all reached on this game (sorry, I can be a little competitive). I've only been able to reach a 49. Can't crack 50! lol

Well?

My, you are competitive aren't you NosiS?

Well, I've cracked 49 several times but the normal range..for me is 45-47. I don't know what the top end of the scale is...but damn, if it's 100, then my vocabulary isn't nearly what I thought it was.
