Has everyone tried this word game on freerice.com? Please do and please please let me know if you can hit level 50. I can get to 49 with a lot of effort but 50 is elusive.

[mockney piers]

Blimey, that gets the greymatter working first thing. Ouch.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Got to 47 then dropped and stayed on 45 for so long I got frustrated. Will not be beaten - watch this space.

[mockney piers]

Got to 45 before a cleared throat suggested I might need to get on with some work, but I shall return.

[Ladygooner]

Ouch 42 at best - will try again once I have woken up properly

[Nero]

This requires much less effort!

Are we on about grains of rice or vocab level here?

[mattham]

pah! up to 45 then hung around the low 40s in disgust, until my wifi failed and saved me.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Got to 48 and lost it. Drat.

[SimonM]

Hurrah! Managed to get to 50 at last and then immediately got one wrong...(6)

[clare]

Did you use a dictionary ???

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Clare - shame on you. There's no fun and no point if one uses a dictionary. Simon M is obviously just a clever old bod.

[clare]

(But doesn't he support Sheffield Utd ?)

I'm in awe of any one who could get to 50 without a dictionary. We had a go last night and were defeated by 45 . (My dad was a latin teacher so I like to think I'm good with words...I obviously aren't.....I'm off to have another go right now !}

Well done SimonM is what I really meant to say.

P S My dad would also have corrected my grammar in the above sentence.

[TillieTrotter]

Never going on that site again, thats the sort of thing that could keep me up til all hours of the morning. Utterly addictive.

[SimonM]

>>(But doesn't he support Sheffield Utd ?)<< (6)

No I did *not* use a dictionary! :)) I guess we Blades supporters are just that shade more literate...Seriously I was just persistent and got lucky with a string of familiar-looking words plus inspired guesses. (I knew that Latin A-Level (failed) would come in handy one day... )

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

As a Millwall supporter I can categorically state that the quality of one's team has no reflection on the ol' grey cells.

[TillieTrotter]

Hurrah, dont think I've ever confessed to that PGC.>:D

[SeanMacGabhann]

s'ok - we all knew, Tillie ;-)

[TillieTrotter]

Did you now! What gave the game away then Sean?

[Brendan]

It was the way you nutted him the first time you met.

[SeanMacGabhann]

My season ticket is 3 rows behind yours TT

More seriously I'm sure it came up in conversation at some point in the past

Plus this posting suggested a loyalty to a team (you could have said Leeds but then they aren't local)

[TillieTrotter]

Honestly Bren, some people just dont realise that Im being friendly when I nut them.

Cant be Mac, there are no rows behind the Exec boxes!!>:D<
