A Feel-Good Timesink. I donated, they said 500 grains of rice.→[More:] Then thought that I should do some work (after posting this).

Vocab level = 46 after figuring out that aeonian = everlasting. I'm quitting while I'm ahead. Oh, and 820 grains of rice.

I always get up to vocab level 48 on this thing and then just can't sustain it.

I got up to level 50 by cheating.

Yes, I opened m-w.com as soon as I got 2 in a row wrong, and I used it, and I'm not proud. But I did donate a buncha rice.

OK, I'm at 4000 grains, level 48, not cheating, and I'm weary.

Also, they are starting to repeat words.

And it occurs to me that I know many of these words because ikkyu uses them regularly.

49; not cheating. Some of the answers are a bit unconvincing, and some of the words are seriously obscure. Outside of Oxford's Hebdomadal Council, is that word ever used?

It did not occur to me to cheat. Not that I am above it, I just didn't think of it.

Now I am kicking ass. . .Thanks iconomy. As usual, you are a good influence on me.
