It's fun and addictive (plus you may learn a few new words!)

That was fun. Apparently my brain hasn't gone completely to mush - I donated 700 grains of rice!

I stopped at 400 - I'll go back later and do more.
I'm embarassed to say I stayed in long enough for 2000 when DH showed me the site the other day. That was persistence in time-wasting...
My 10 year old enjoyed it, too. It adjusts to the user's level - I actually think it was a pretty cool vocab game for him. I'll have him do it more.

Haha, I didn't stop the first time until I was at 1300 grains and I had to force myself to stop! I like how it adjusts to different levels too, pretty neat :)

Oh my gosh - I could NOT stop when I found this earlier this week. Thousands of grains and I ended up back at the words from the beginning/starting over. Guess I max'd it out! Lucky for me it is quick so it wasn't much time, just lots of words! :D

what's your vocab level? These words are hard!

I'm usually in the upper 20s. Comes and goes depending on the words.

Usually in the 35-39 range. Sometimes higher for a few words, but always get one wrong and then end up back in the upper 30's again...

man, I thought I was doing good at 31. Now, if I could just remember the words I missed and their actual meaning.....hmmmmm
Low 40's. DH works with a guy who hovers around 46. Dayum. That there's some vocabularifying.
