How to Make Blanks in Any Text

Three steps from raw text to a graded gap-fill exercise. Most users finish their first one in minutes.

1

Paste your text

Any passage works: a reading text, lecture notes, song lyrics, definitions. Any language, including accented characters.

2

Click words to hide them

Each clicked word becomes a gap. Turn gaps into typed answers or multiple choice, add hints, and accept alternative answers.

3

Share the link

Students open the URL on any device—no accounts, no installs—and answers are graded the moment they submit.

Beyond Printable Gap Fill Worksheets

Most gap fill generators produce a worksheet you still have to print, hand out, and mark. Cloze Generator makes the whole exercise digital.
