    Basically, you click on the link. It gives you a word and one-word definitions (synonyms) which you can choose from. For every answer you get correctly, the company will donate 10 grains of rice to the United Nations.

    Hehe, I cheated on this. I used dictionary.com to help me answer the questions -lol

    Indicates your lack of vocabulary. Plus, using dictionary.com defeats the purpose of learning, as stated in the FreeRice site <_<

    Whatever, it's all for a good cause -rolleyes
