Easy, free giving on FreeRice

This doesn't seem to be recently posted on any blogs. And it needs to be posted often. On FreeRice, every time you give a correct definition for a word, 20 grains of rice is donated through the United Nations. Don't worry about the small amount, it adds up fast. Do worry about how addictive this game is for writers!

Hello! I just love playing that! Thanks for reminding me. I'll go play some today!

It's a great break--and a reminder of how many fun words there are for us writers to use!

Conda:

Great little test of vocabulary. I thought I knew a lot of words, but about number five, Bingo! I was shot down in flames.

Nice post. I'll stop by again.

Thanks, swubird, for your comments. And that's part of the FreeRice's allure--you get to learn about a lot of words. I just visited your blog and it looks to be very intriguing.

And thanks too, to Rebecca--with her gorgeous photos...

Hi,
The really good thing about it is that becoming addicted, you don't have to feel guilty or that you've wasted your time.

Too true, Dave!

I never remember the rice until someone reminds me, so thanks, Conda!

You may not thank me if you are spending writing time playing, Nancy!
