Basically, this is a vocabulary game that happens to happens to donate 10 grams of rice to charity for every word that you get right and you continue in succession garnering "points" to see how many you can get right in a row.

It's sponsored by various big-time designers and companies, and in case you need to validate that it's real, here's the Snopes entry on it:

So improve your vocabulary and do something nice today. You getting smarter just might help put food on somebody's plate tonight. :)

It's seriously addictive. And it still feels okay to be addicted to it, because I am helping people eat dinner.

Nevertheless, I have put a great deal of time into it. It's a little uncool, but what can you do? I've gotten somewhere between twenty and twenty five thousand grains donated, in theory. Highest vocab at 48. Usually around 41-45. There are my stats. Hooray.

Thanks. You've been a great help.

I average about 40 on vocab level myself.
