Funny - or at least remotely amusing - link

It's supposed to be for charity somehow, but the adds aren't bothersome and it's free. They give you a word and four (approximate) synonyms. If you pick three right answers in a row, you get up a level. A wrong answer gets you down a level. It burns down to what you remember of Greek and Latin, plus elaborate guesswork.

I don't seem to be able to stay at level 50 for longer than two words in a row. I hope that if I keep on trying they'll run out of words and go back to questions I've already had *is cunning* :D

It's very addictive - had to stop at 2,000. Perhaps I'll have another go later.

*agrees with the addictive*

I didn't manage to reach level 50 - it probably means that I'll have to try again later...

To je báječná hra! Budu chytřejší a chytřejší... ;)

I sent the link to my mother who went as far as 3,000 or something (!)

Now that I've got the computer back I'll have another go :)

Practise makes perfect.

I'm learning new words with each of your comments :)

Jà zapomenuju všchena slova hned, ale se bavu, neni to důležitešji?

That's my intention ;)

Nejdůležitější je zábava!
