Wow. I Stumble!d upon that a while ago. It's amazing, but I go ADD before I get very high. But I have to stop at a hundred mark.

Lol, I played for a long time. Got up to 6020 before I quit. Level 40. I had gotten up to 44, but it's easier to go down by missing one than going up.

Didn't look anything up either. Word roots really helped in that game.

I got to 1740 grains of rice at level 36. It took me so long...does the rice reallly go to people who can't afford it?

It's so much fun, but I tend to get bored really easily. Usually I stop before I reach 4000. I think the highest I've gotten was 43, but my average is 37-38. Being in AP Spanish helps because the Latin-based words are similar to the Spanish words. Occasionally they give you foreign words, such as burro.

I love this site! My english teacher put it up of blackboard (a website used to post homework and such, used frequently in case of many snow days). Darn it, you beat me to it!

I usually quit a little after 2000.

You get 20 per word. 1350 isn't possible Laughing

I love it, but it's late so I can't play. Sad
