Shahi is a great concept for visual learners and I thought perhaps kids too who respond well to visuals when learning words. Except the first word on the main page when I opened from your link was RAPE!!!!!! Hardly an appropriate start for kids or adults, what do you think?

Hmmm…when I opened it up, the word ‘blimp’ was displayed. Maybe the last word searched is displayed?

Great Finds! I wish I could find these neat links all the time hehe. I like the Strength Test, cause I’m geek so I like my passwords to be really secure. I am even thinking to get a finger print scanner to improve my security! (and increase productivity.)
