I saw this on the BBC website and thought I'd share it.

A brilliantly simple concept that allows you to exercise your mind and help feed the world.

I got up to 1100 and a word score of 40 before I stopped (so far).

Got up to 49 but only 1090 grains. They really get some obscure words into the mix. Gave the old grey cells a workout and did some good too, brilliant!

I'm clearly a retard, and seem to hover around the 32 mark

Well Scotty, I am right there with you.

I couldn't feed a small dog let alone the third world.

I admit to guesswork on lots! Doing crosswords and being bit of an anorak when it comes to english helps. I'm not intelligent really. Just have one of those horrible brains that stores trivia.

Looks like 50 is the maximum... took me 1340 grains to get there though, thanks to some tricky ones repeating themselves.

Maxs out at 50.
I was more donating through stupidity, a stable 45 and 2 1/2 thousand grains. Where did they find those words!!
