I said

"increased vocabulary and the satisfaction that you are helping world hunger"

2. I did 3000+ last week, stopped keeping track as I played more, shorter ones

It was fun, and I passed the link around, too. Pretty cool.

3. I like the challenge of the words

and the kids thought they were "cheating" and had encarta dictionary...

4. Same here.

And that's awesome about your kids, that they're so enthused by it, they're going to gobble up all those words they're looking up! :)

5. That's cool. I just donated 210 grains of rice pretty quickly.

But it's late, I'm tired, and I have to go to bed now. But I did bookmark the page for later use. That could get addictive.
