Cloze Cards

Last modified: 13/02/2026

Overview

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

Basic 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 |

Numbering rules

• Different numbers (c1, c2) create separate cards.
• Same number hides multiple parts on the same card.

Example with two cards:

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

Example with one card hiding two words:

CQ | The {{c1::heart}} pumps {{c1::blood}} through the body |

Create with the modal

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.

Grading

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

Edge cases and limits

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