    Open Mind Word Expert is a teaching tool and free online word game. The
    user identifies what meaning of a word applies in example sentences. It is
    a way of getting students engaged in issues of word meaning (which, as a
    by-product, provides the organisers with a resource for evaluating computers
    doing the same job.)
