If you could help end world hunger, in just a few minutes, with only a few clicks of your mouse, would you do it? Free Rice is your chance to do just that. Advertisers on Free Rice pay for grains of rice, 20 at a time, which are donated to and distributed by the United Nations World Food Program. In this way, people sitting at home, in front of their computer screens, are able to their part in ending world hunger. Does it work? In less than 5 months, Free Rice has donated over 18 billion grains of rice to feed the hungry.

Of course, Free Rice doesn't expect you to do this for nothing. On their site, which is free to use and does not ask for monetary donations, users are provided with a game in which their vocabulary skills are put to the test. Users are given a word they may or may not know, and four multiple choice options. By getting words right, the difficulty of the words supplied is increased, and vice versa. Free Rice hopes to provide an easy way for people new to the English language a way to become more comfortable. Those already fluent are challenged with 55 levels of difficulty. Even experts are sure to be stumped.




As roleplayers, writing is our craft. It is how we describe our characters, their actions, and their surroundings. A large vocabulary adds interest to posts, and gives one's writing a flair that cannot otherwise be attained. I strongly suggest each and every one of you play on Free Rice, and play there often. If you're waiting for a video or song to download, to to Free Rice. If you need a break from your latest report or essay, Go to Free Rice. If you're bored, go to Free Rice. You'll not only be developing your writing skills, but you'll be contributing to the end of world hunger, and aiding your fellow man.

I encourage you to post your total rice donation and your highest vocabulary level here each time you go to Free Rice. I will keep a running total of rice donated by AKT members, including individual breakdowns, with the one who donates most on top. A leaderboard will keep track of the highest vocabulary levels among members who post here, so we can crown AKT's vocabulary champion.

I'll start off with a very short game: 280 Grains at level 37

AKT Contribution Total:8160 Grains

  • Eegas - 6160
  • Kain Aldar - 1380
  • Kallikrates - 280
