Know a Word? Then, Donate Rice.

An Internet game called FreeRice tests the vocabulary of anyone who plays it. If you click on the right answer, 10 grains of rice are donated by the site's advertisers; if you click on the wrong answer, you're given an easier word. Within just a month of the site's launch, a billion grains have been raised for the world's hungry!
