This is a for-real site. It is sponsored by the United Nations. For each correct answer to the meaning of the word, 20 grains of rice are placed in your bowl. The rice is provided by sponsers who advertise at the bottom of the screen. In addition to improving the vocabulary of people around the world who want to speak English proficiently, they have already given away enough rice to feed every person on Earth 3 meals a day for a week. There are a number of schools across America that are using this program in their classes.

One word of caution: This is very addictive.
