How to Use Fill in the Blanks

Fill in the Blanks automatically generates cloze exercises from any text you provide. It removes key words and challenges you to recall them from memory — one of the most effective techniques for active vocabulary practice.

Quick Start Topics

Try a sample exercise instantly without typing anything. Choose from built-in topics like Health & Fitness, Weather & Seasons, or Daily Routine. Each topic provides a paragraph of natural English, German, or French text that generates 5-10 blanks for you to fill.

Practice with Podcast Transcripts

Use the Episode Picker to load a real podcast transcript and turn it into a fill-in-the-blank exercise. This lets you practice vocabulary from episodes you have already listened to, reinforcing words you encountered in context.

Why Cloze Exercises Work

Cloze tests force active recall, which strengthens memory more than passive review. When you fill in a blank, your brain searches for the right word based on context clues — the same process you use in real conversations. This tool is ideal for A1 to B1 learners building core vocabulary and for B2+ learners reviewing advanced expressions.
