Jo Beverley directs us to an addictive game where we can test our vocabularies, learn a lot of new words we'll never use, scare the cat when we get one wrong (Drat! I knew that!), and help end world hunger.

Yup. For every word you get right, the non-intrusive site sponsors will donate 10 grains of rice to help end world hunger. It really adds up, especially if all of us are playing our part.

Back to the game. So far I've scored 690 grains. The next word is pinchbeck. Yikes! Good thing there's no penalty when you guess wrong.
