Cloze Flashcards

Last modified: 30/03/2026

Cloze flashcards hide words inside a sentence so you recall missing parts in context.

Use CQ with markers like {{c1::...}}:

T | French Geography |
CQ | The capital of France is {{c1::Paris}} |
I | Located on the River Seine |
G | Geography |
  • Different numbers (c1, c2) create separate flashcards.
  • Same number hides multiple parts on the same flashcard.

Example with two flashcards:

CQ | {{c1::Paris}} is the capital of {{c2::France}} |

Example with one flashcard hiding two words:

CQ | The {{c1::heart}} pumps {{c1::blood}} through the body |
  1. Right-click in a note -> Add flashcard -> Cloze Card.
  2. Enter text.
  3. Mark text as new cloze or same-number cloze.
  4. Save.

Cloze flashcards use the same manual grading flow as other flashcards. See Grading.

  • Invalid cloze syntax can stop a flashcard from rendering correctly.
  • Overlapping or inconsistent numbering can create unexpected flashcard counts.
  • Very large numbers of deletions in one sentence can hurt readability and recall quality.
