It's a simple game - ask what various words mean, offer multiple-choice answers, and make the words and definitions harder or easier depending on whether the player gets the answers right or wrong. (Sometimes it feels like playing "Balderdash", except the offered definitions aren't funny.)

At the point where I'd donated 500 grains of rice, I made it to level 43 (out of 50). (Edit: At 10 grains per correct word, that's 50 correct definitions. The level drops each time you guess an incorrect definition.) Can anyone top that?
