Brainy, addictive, good for the world

Like words? Think you have a kickass vocabulary? Wanna test that theory, and donate some food at the same time? You WOULD?

Well, really, who wouldn't?

Let me know what level you get to. My friend Tika reads everything, all the time, and teaches SAT prep courses, and is the only one I know to get close to 50, the highest level. So far I've only

At least it's 46. I keep getting smacked down at 43, which is frustrating, because I used to have an intuitive knack for vocab. Now I have an intuitive knack for remote controls.

I really need to read more books.

Should I hang my head in shame?

After my first post, I kept going, and got three wrong in a row. 39. I r dum.

I don't think so. The game is so addictive that, while you can find a comfort level, you can also learn and improve the more you play. I started yesterday and only got into the 40's with the help of a biologist/Latin-roots-knowing friend. Today, I'm getting there on my own.

It's like, I'm learning. Or something.

(It's also kind of fun to get a bunch wrong, take the level down, and hang out in the 20's, where you can get all the words right and feel smart.)

I think book/word junkies & English majors have the advantage. The rest of us will just catch up to them by the end of the week.

Good lord, I can't stop.

620 grains and counting! Yi! And at about 500, I realized that I should've been writing down the words that I didn't know/used my badass etmyological deductive reasoning skills to guess correctly. :(

I made it to 45 before getting a series wrong (one earlier one wrong), but loads of rice. Going back for more.

Yes, see, the rice makes any pain you might feel about your level alllll better.

i was at 50 but then i missed the part about how that's the highest and i kept going and then i EFFED UP ON A WORD I ACTUALLY KNOW AND NOW I'M MAD, HAPPY MONDAY

[claudelemonde]

...and i'm at 900 grains so i got some wrong before that

of course, i emo-ate approx 5200 grains of rice this weekend so it's false economy

HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!

I knew you'd be awesome at this though. I just love having a mindless-but-not activity to play online for break times and conference calls.

I got so close to moving up a level, but then I miss something (as always, go with your first guess!), so I'm holding steady at level 45. But I've gotten up over 1,000 grains of rice! This is a win/win for everyone!
