This tool creates cloze (fill-in-the-blank) tests for any given text.
Click a blank space to reveal the missing word, or use the keyboard to navigate (arrow keys, enter, N, R, P). By default, it randomly removes 20% of words, ignoring those with less than 4 letters. You can change these settings. You can also click on words to manually remove them. If you set hide to 0, it will be completely manual. If you set hide to 100% and minimum to 0, every word will be automatically hidden.
Teachers can use this tool in online mode or to create printed worksheets. Students can use it to practice by themselves. Repeatedly testing yourself on the same text is an easy way to master it. Active recall is the key to effective learning!
