Interactive exercise
Fill in the blank
Sentences with words missing: participants drag them in from a shared bank or type them, and you see live which blank tripped the room up.
What is Fill in the blank?
You write the sentences and click the words that should disappear. Every clicked word becomes a blank, the exercise is saved to your library, and you run sessions from it by sharing a code or a QR code.
Participants join from their phones and fill the blanks - dragging the words in from one shared, shuffled bank, or typing them, whichever mode you chose. When it ends everyone gets their own scored summary with the right answers, and you get a chart of how the group did on every single blank.
Features
Key capabilities
Drag mode
Everyone gets the same shuffled bank of words. Add decoy words that fit no blank to make it harder.
Typing mode
No words on screen: participants have to produce the term from memory. Case-sensitive checking is optional.
Click to hide a word
Write a sentence, click the words to blank out. Or paste a whole list at once with the missing words in [brackets].
Optional time limit
Set a time with auto-finish, or run the exercise without a limit and end it manually.
Reusable exercises
Create, edit and duplicate exercises for future sessions; deleted ones stay recoverable in the bin.
Per-blank results
See how many participants got each individual blank right - the hard ones are exactly what to walk through again.
