Funny English Fortune Teller

EXCLUSIVE TO THIS SITE

Want to know what fate has in mind for you this week? Spin the Funny English Fortune Teller wheel to find out!

The Funny English Fortune Teller will stop at a random combination of adverbs, verbs, numbers, adjectives, and nouns. Put the words together to find out your future.

The chances of the wheel landing on the exact combination of words is 1 in 10,000,000,000.

It's just a fun application (don't take it seriously!), but it might also help you in learning the differences between the parts of speech.

Share your prediction by posting your fortune as your Facebook status.

It was my laptop, not a fault with you. I don't have the correct version of Flash Player to make it work. Great idea of yours to put a link to it. :)

Thanks Martin. Let us know how you go. If it's not working for you, then it's probably not working for others too.

Good point Martin!


It must be me. I'm not getting the 'Press' button when it loads. I think I must be missing a driver on my laptop or something. I'll try it on a different computer as it sounds like a lot of fun.

Instructions on how to make it work might be an idea. All I could see was 5 grey spaces.
