Free rice game

[undyingking]

If you haven't already seen this, you might like to give it a go -- not just because of the free rice aspect, but because it's a fun and well-designed game.

Get three in a row right and you go up a level -- get one wrong and you go down a level. At higher levels you get asked more difficult words, difficulty being assessed by the proportion of previous contestants who've got them wrong.

50 is the highest level, so if you can stay there for any length of time, you're doing pretty well. My longest run at 50 was 4 words. Beat that if you dare!

And you'll learn lots of interesting (but, for the most part, practically useless) words.

(Thanks to watervole for pointing me at it!)

Do I get bonus points for noticing that they've spelt minuscule incorrectly as miniscule?

Only if you want to dash bowls of rice from the mouths of the world's hungry. But you can have a special kudo from me if you like.

(Hmm, my COD has that as acceptable, while my ODWE says not. Get your act together, Oxford!)

Oxford tracks usage, so it's probable that a lot of people mis-spell it. I certainly did the other week and had the red squiggle of wrongness underneath it, which is how I knew that it should be minuscule!

Well, I'm not sure I deserve a bonus point. I donated 1000 grains, but level 45 was my peak.

Hmm, maybe I'd better dash that kudo from your mouth then.
