For each answer you get right, FreeRice donates 20 grains of rice through the United Nations World Food Program. If you cruise through the easier words — and through the likes of sutler, posset, pomiferous, edentulous, and glair — try another language, or a different category altogether. Despite the multiple-choice format, I soon found that "identify countries on the map" is tougher than it looks.
