Why Teachers Swap Paper Lyric Sheets for This
Audio in the Exercise
Upload your recording so listening and answering happen on one page—great for homework, not just class time.
Forgiving Auto-Grading
Accept alternative spellings and ignore capitalization, so “Cause” vs “cause” doesn’t cost a point.
Hints per Blank
Give the first letter or a meaning hint on tricky words, and add an explanation that appears after answering.
No Student Accounts
One link, any device. Students don’t sign up, don’t install anything, and results are graded instantly.

See submitted answers in your dashboard (latest 10 on the free plan, 300 on paid) to spot the lines everyone misheard.
Reusable Every Term
Your gap fills live online—edit the blanks for a new level and share a fresh link in seconds.
What a Lyrics Gap Fill Looks Like
A made-up example—paste your own lyrics and choose the blanks that match your lesson goal.
Walking down the _____ in the morning light,
I can hear the _____ calling out my name,
Every little _____ gonna be alright.
Blank out rhymes to train sound prediction, weak forms (“gonna”, “wanna”) to train connected speech, or content words to train vocabulary.
