For every word you get right, the organization (via their sponsors ads, shown at the bottom of the page) will donate 20 grains of rice through the United Nations, to help combat world hunger.*
You don't have to register or anything, and you can play as much or as little as you like. (If you're an utter word geek like me, you'll keep playing, trying to surpass your own scores *g*)
