The UN Food Program will donate 10 grains of rice for every word you correctly define.
Each word takes about a second to define, and it costs absolutely no money at all, and no registration, you just get straight down to business.
Anyway, you could help feed some hungry people and help end starvation.
So www.freerice.com
For anybody questioning the validity, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeRice

I will check out site, but I have my doubts about it. Any site saying anything about donating I have my doubts when come to internet.

It's a website hosted by the United Nations, they get their donations from the people who advertise on the website, my school also advertises this website to the students, so I would say that it's a pretty trustworthy site.
Seriously.
The United Nations Food Program.
United Nations.

You guys rock!
No, you don't get your rice taken away if you get one wrong :)
Um, also, 10 grains of rice isn't a lot, no, but FreeRice gets a lot of serious advertisement, and some people set up bots to continuous play this game (within reason of course, because money isn't limitless).
Anyway, I can't remember the exact statistics, but I think FreeRice feeds something like 7,000 people daily.
