Cloze Flashcards

Purpose

Section titled “Purpose”

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

Cloze Format

Section titled “Cloze Format”

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 |

You can also add an optional hint after the answer with a second :::

CQ | The seronegative spondyloarthropathies may be remembered with {{c1::Psoriatic arthritis::P}} |

In that form:

  • Psoriatic arthritis is the answer.
  • P is the hint shown only while the cloze is hidden.
  • When the answer is revealed, LearnKit shows only the full answer.

Numbering Rules

Section titled “Numbering Rules”
  • Different numbers (c1, c2) create separate flashcards.
  • Same number hides multiple parts on the same flashcard.
  • Hints do not change numbering.

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 |
Section titled “Modal Steps”

Grading

Section titled “Grading”

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

Limits

Section titled “Limits”
  • Invalid cloze syntax can stop a flashcard from rendering correctly.
  • Hint syntax must follow the pattern {{cN::answer::hint}}.
  • Overlapping or inconsistent numbering can create unexpected flashcard counts.
  • Very large numbers of deletions in one sentence can hurt readability and recall quality.
