Hope I'm allowed to do this here... (and maybe someone has already done this), but can I recommend this site: www.freerice.com

Wonderful, Annvan!  I donated 1800 grains of rice and reached level 50... but it wasn't easy!

Let's make a link of that site:  FREE RICE.

This is great! Smile [:)]

I didn't know "plaza" was a "shopping centre" - Wait a bit, it says "shopping center" so, it's in AmE, isn't it?

I've learnt lots of new words, thanks Annvan! Smile [:)]

I donated 1240 grains of rice and my best level is 6 - I will try harder tomorrow!

That's a great site!  But the words certainly are not easy ones.  I got lucky on a few of the ones I'd never, ever heard before. Quite a few of the words that I had seen before are not part of my active vocabulary. When I stopped, I had managed to hit 48 -- but not without a little help from Lady Luck. Wink [;)]

Hi,

That's fun.  I got to 49 in 640 grains of rice, but it was all down-hill from there.

I got to level 12 yesterday when I retried. Big Smile [:D]

Wow - That is so much, I can't imagine what those words look like!

2200 - Level 50.

It gets a bit boring after a while.
I was surprised at the number I guessed right.  I've never seen some of these words before!  Others, by coincidence, I just read within the last few weeks.

I cannot see what my level is, It just has the "VOCAB LEVEL ―" But I cannot see the exact level of mine

You don't start from level 0 - The first ones are just to see in which level you should be so, after a couple of answers, your level will appear Smile [:)]
