Test your vocabulary for Free Rice

I was up to 48 at one point, but mostly hovered around 43. Why can I never think of these nifty words during Scrabble? Donated 1610 grains of rice.

I get up to level 43, slip to 41 or 40, then climb to 43 again. Damn, this is addictive.

This is exactly my level, too.

I always maintain that I need to try a little harder to keep up with you guys. I’m sitting at 33-37. Where can I find my dunce cap?

I donated about 2500 last night (can’t remember what number I left off at) and 2600 today. I tend to hover between 43 and 46, but have hit 47 a few times.

Their vocab levels are weird - I’d get up to 48 or so but mostly around 44, but they’d bust out six words I’d never heard of and couldn’t even guess at, and in the middle is “scintillating” or “claymore” or something that I expect most educated people to recognize.

Those levels are very weird. I earned 1800 grains of rice, did not miss a word, and the highest the vocab level got was 47.

Oh, stop confabulisticulating.

I knew that one but only because I fixed it once, from a recipe on the Galloping Gourmet TV show.

This was fun. I stopped at about 2200, score ranged from 40-46.

Anyone else amused that their definition of “saturnalia” is “debauchery”?

On the oddness of the definitions… as pointed out upthread, I think they are going with “most related to” rather than exact equivalence.

According to the FAQ:

I’m at 1270 grains, level 47 (just missed a couple, darn it). I’ve been bouncing between 46 and 50 for a while now, and have not seen any repeats in the stimulus word.

I eventually got up to 47 two or three times, but briefly and then back to my typical levels (~43); haven’t had the random luck of enough level-47 words coming up consecutively to get bumped into 48 or beyond.

Anybody get this one?

:eek: It’s a trap for dirty minds.

I stopped at 600 grains, and I was around level 42-43.

4000 grains.

Been a slow afternoon for me.

Yeah, they got me with that one. That was a dirty trick.

I cant get above 46 :angry: 4000 grains and rising.

I was mostly at 48 and 49, though I hit 50 once or twice. Got to 2500 and bookmarked the page.

Quit at 2000. that’s enough rice for all of Bangladesh, I hope.

I seemed to hover in the 42-46 range with an occasional foray into the 47/48 realm.
