Wicked tricky. I got up to 46 and had to give it up, real life intruding on my computer time. Might go back when I have more time. What'd you get to, Ed?

I had to stop at 45 right before bed. I like how the game is actually a challenge - you have to start using your knowledge of roots and prefixes in order to guess the correct answers. Also, some of the words are actually useful words that I could see slipping into a description now and then, and I have either been reminded of their existence or learned new synonyms for words I would use anyway.

PLUS you get to donate food. How cool.

Haha! A brain drain for grain. Thanks for the link, Ed.
