Here’s a chance to test out your SAT skills.
Warning, you may get hooked! =)
Got this e-mail from my sweetheart :" Internet game fights hunger."
Hmm. Well I am slowly becoming a contemporary Luddite, I don’t ever play computer games…but lo and behold, this is a Vocabulary game!
Heck yeah, I actually thought all that SAT stuff was not only easy but kinda fun (my vocab and english scores made up for the really embarrassingly mediocre mathematics section).
There’s a vocab game online that donates rice to third world countries
through the UN. For every word guessed correct, they donate 10 grains
of rice.
The link for game is:

Here is the BBC article about it:

Thus far I have to admit it has been addictive. Each word that pops up next is a challenge to be conquered, and the little graphic rice bowls filling up are enough reward for me to keep on clicking away.
So, if you need a somewhat yet not totally mindless distraction, unfurl your linguistics and earn some rice for the less fortunate in just a few clicks!
