FreeRice

Does anyone find the words on FreeRice have gotten harder since it started? I mean sastruga and pith at level 40? They should be at level 44 at least!

Of course, I've also found this game is like IQ tests or Jeopardy. Once you've been playing for a while, you get good at guessing which one is likely to be right just because it's the sort of thing the people who design the game are likely to pick.

And while I was typing this I got "bilabial" at level 43. Bilabial (with its completely transparent etymology) is at 43 but sastruga is at 40?

I'm keeping that comment because the site is what it says it is, but I should add that I do not endorse it because I do not endorse religious charities.
