at a vocab leval 40 and I added 400 grains of rice.
I like how it will re-ask the words that you missed later that same session. It helps reinforce them. I know sometimes if I go through them too quickly and play a day later and the word comes up I can’t always recall it.
I need for my kids to play this but I keep forgetting. The next time they are on I need to have them bookmark it.
ps we just had rice today :)

some of the words will repeat.
Maybe if you stay at the same vocab level that’s what happens?
Anyway I added 2,300 so that brings my total to 5,600.
It makes me nutty when I’m tired and I need to stop to go to bed and I know the next word so I have to keep going until I stop at a nice rounded number.

I was stuck @ 35 but I did add 1,200 more grains bringing my total up to 3,300 but then I really wanted to know what the heck a ‘howdah’ was? I guessed a seat on an elephant So toss in an extra 40 grain for me!(I play a mean game of Balderdash
Our friend came up with this classic, made up definition for, cyclic-a bicycle riding swami. The real one is not even half as interesting LOL!!

I even got to a level 41 today(Time to shoot for 43)
So I added 400 more grains of rice so that brings my total contribution to…let me do the math…carry the one…2,100….seems like I needs to work a bit harder on this goal.
(I should not let McSmarty help me because he had my vocab level down to 38 at one point)

I was getting really super hard words today like pestiferous & spurious I had work extra hard for my 200 grains of rice. But I did have a vocab level of 40.
I’ll come back later.

so I just finish with my total at 1,000 grains of rice and my best score was at 36. Maybe I should not be watching mythbusters on how exploding mentos and diet coke works. It is sorta interesting :)
That makes 7000 nnbllparker
