Hi, I haven't used these for a couple of years, but they might be worth checking out.
www.freerice.com <http://www.freerice.com/> has questions on a wide variety of subjects, including vocabulary words. It adjusts the difficulty based on how well you answer the questions. And every time you answer a question, the banner ads draw in enough revenue to buy 10 grains of rice, so you help hungry people get food as you develop your skills. www.vocabulary.com <http://vocabulary.com/> has lots of word-related activities as well. I hope these are helpful.
