Rice Matters





This is, perhaps, one of the smartest sites I've ever seen. Sheer brilliance!

It is a game that has you test and improve your English vocabulary. It also donates 20 grains of rice to the United Nations World Food program for each word you guess correctly.

With each answer, you are informed whether or not you are correct. If you are right, it will increase the difficulty level for the next word.

The rice is purchased by advertisers who pay per word page. As you play, advertisements are at the bottom of the screen. The money from these advertisements is what buys the rice. So if you play, you pay for the rice donated to hungry people.

It is that simple. God, I love capitalistic ingenuity.

So go forth my friends and fill up your mind and others bellies. Put your money where somebody else's mouth is.
