For each word you get right, we donate 20 grains of rice to the United Nations World Food Program.
So, who at Daily Kos can donate the most rice? Or do you want to challenge another site? Maybe there really is such a thing as healthy competition. Or maybe this will still devolve into a fight--but at least this time we could do some good along the way.
From the Free Rice FAQ
FreeRice has a custom database containing thousands of words at varying degrees of difficulty. There are words appropriate for people just learning English and words that will challenge the most scholarly professors. In between are thousands of words for students, business people, homemakers, doctors, truck drivers, retired people... everyone!
FreeRice automatically adjusts to your level of vocabulary. It starts by giving you words at different levels of difficulty and then, based on how you do, assigns you an approximate starting level. You then determine a more exact level for yourself as you play. When you get a word wrong, you go to an easier level. When you get three words in a row right, you go to a harder level. This one-to-three ratio is best for keeping you at the "outer fringe" of your vocabulary, where learning can take place.
There are 50 levels in all, but it is rare for people to get above level 48.
