A Google Forms Alternative
Built for Quizzes
Forms treats quizzes as a checkbox setting. Cloze Generator treats them as the product: real fill-in-the-blank questions, auto-grading by default, and respondents who never need to sign in.
Free plan available · No credit card required
The Question Type Forms Was Never Built For
In Google Forms, a fill-in-the-blank question is a workaround: you split the sentence, add a short-answer field, and hope the spelling matches exactly. In Cloze Generator, you paste the passage and click words—the blank lives inside the text, with alternative answers and case-insensitive matching built in.
Click-to-Blank Editing
Turn any passage into a cloze test in minutes. Choose typed answers or multiple choice per blank.
Rich Question Content
Tables, images, audio, code blocks with syntax highlighting, and math formulas via LaTeX—content Forms can't express in a question.
AI Generation Included
Generate a draft quiz from pasted text, a PDF, or a photo (6/day on the free plan), then click to adjust the blanks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why use this instead of Google Forms for quizzes?
Google Forms is a survey tool with a quiz mode added on top. Cloze Generator is built only for tests: you click words in a text to create fill-in-the-blank questions, auto-grading is the default, and you can accept several correct answers per blank. If you mostly run surveys, Forms remains a great free choice.
Can I make real fill-in-the-blank questions?
Yes—this is the core of the product. Paste any passage and click the words you want to hide. In Forms you would have to rebuild the sentence around a short-answer field; here the blank lives inside the text, the way cloze questions should.
Do respondents need a Google account?
No. You share a URL and anyone can answer in the browser on any device, with no sign-in. (You as the creator sign in with a Google account.)
Is grading automatic?
Yes, by default. Fill-in-the-blank and multiple-choice answers are scored on submission, with alternative accepted answers and optional case-insensitive matching for English.
Is it free like Google Forms?
There is a free plan (no credit card): up to 3 private and 10 public tests with 30 questions each, including AI test generation 6 times per day. Unlike Forms, unlimited usage requires a paid plan ($12/month or $48/6 months)—we are honest about that.
