This game is fun! It is a vocabulary challenge that also donates food to the hungry - 10 grains for every word you get right. Snopes says it is legit - in fact I found it via Snopes.

I haven’t gotten above 50 yet.

I showed the game to my husband, then had to remove the keyboard from him so I could post this. 🙂
