If you want a challenge, check out this site where you can try to guess the 100 most common words in the English language. Think fast...you only have 5 minutes. Just type the words in the top "guess" field. If you are correct, the word jumps into its place in the top 100. If you are wrong, nothing happens.

Take a fun vocabulary quiz and donate rice at the same time! For every correct answer you get, 10 grains of rice are donated through a United Nations program.
