only New Zealand sites - maybe that's why it's
called SearchNZ ;-). An interesting feature is
its "fuzziness". The idea is to help
you find things that aren't spelt quite the way
you think they are, but it also means that a search
for "hematology" finds every other sort
of "-ology" as well. |

still one of the most popular ways of finding your

What if just knowing what a word meant could help feed hungry people around the world? Well, at FreeRice it does . . . the totals have grown exponentially. FreeRice has two goals:
1. Provide English vocabulary to everyone for free.
2. Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.
This is made possible by the sponsors who advertise on this site.
Whether you are CEO of a large corporation or a street child in a poor country, improving your vocabulary can improve your life. It is a great investment in yourself. Perhaps even greater is the investment your donated rice makes in hungry human beings, enabling them to function and be productive. Somewhere in the world, a person is eating rice that you helped provide. Thank you. http://www.freerice.com |
