Most of thoses are direct import words These are words can you train yourself on in that Free Rice game.Link I keep it in the sideline ever since it turned up here. Best word game I know. PS.

But: " What an ugly heap of trash the McGuinty government seems to have in mind" (?) Last edited by BranShea; 06/09/2010 8:48 AM.
