test your word power

…for a good cause. Go to FreeRice.com and play their vocabulary game. It’s free, easy and addicting. Out of 48 levels, I’m comfortable on 40 and can move into 41 with some effort. Curious to see if repeated playing moves me up or not.

Yesterday I was cruising easily in 41 and made a brief surge into 42. I guess it does help your vocabulary.

    I, too, was able to hang out in the 40 range. I made it to 41 once or twice, but never any higher. Quite the addictive web site.

    Alexa,

    It’s VERY addictive. Come back in a couple days and try it again. I bet you go to a higher level. Easy workout for the brain!

    Amanda, I have worked hard and made it to 46. But then I fell off my lofty perch to 43.

    I guess all that late-night reading does come in handy, hmmm? ;)

    Aneris,

    Amazing! Wonderful! You’re the first person I know of who’s made it that far.

    Now I’m jealous!

    Book #2 is on its way. Slowly. But getting there.

    I'm finally ready to rejoin life. Slowly, too.

    I've discovered the pleasure of working with Brian Gardner's WP themes. His free stuff is nearly flawless and his more expensive stuff is mind-blowing. Although his work is easy to use right out of the box, there's infinite fun to be had by customizing (i.e., destroying) it. As you can see here.
