Cloze tips that actually help

  • Hide the one thing you need to remember, not half the sentence.
  • One card per blank is usually better: each fact gets its own review.
  • Keep the context words that make the answer guessable only if you know the material.
  • The copied text pastes straight into Anki's Cloze note type (Text field).
  • For diagrams, use image occlusion instead (built into Anki since 23.10). AnkiDecks makes image-occlusion cards from the diagrams in your slides.

Questions

What's the difference between c1 and c2?

Each number is a separate card. {{c1::A}} and {{c2::B}} make two cards; {{c1::A}} and {{c1::B}} hide both on the same card.

Can I add a hint?

Yes, in Anki: {{c1::answer::hint}} shows the hint in the blank. Add it after copying the text.

Is it free?

Yes, free and no sign-up. Your text stays in your browser.
