How to create a cloze exercise in Keeplet

On the Keeplet website a cloze exercise is a flashcard in which you write the terms to hide between double curly braces, for example "The {{mitochondrion}} produces the cell's energy". During review each term becomes a blank [...] to recall. It works in the question of a flashcard, not in plain notes.

Before you start

You need a flashcard: create one as explained in How to create a flashcard from a note, or turn a note into one with Turn into card. The block must be a flashcard: {{ }} markers written in a regular note do not generate exercises.

Steps

1. Open the notebook and click in the question of a flashcard (the field that shows "What do you want to remember?" when it is empty).
2. Write the full sentence, for example "The brain forgets 70% of what you study in a day".
3. Type {{ before the term to hide and }} after it. The result is "The brain forgets {{70%}} of what you study in a day". Keeplet has no button for this: you type the braces by hand.
4. To hide several terms, wrap each one in its own braces, for example "The {{mitochondrion}} produces {{ATP}}".
5. Move to another block: the terms between braces are highlighted in the editor, so you can spot them at a glance.
6. Wait for "Saved at" at the top. The Answer field can stay empty: cloze exercises don't need it.

Writing rules: the term cannot be empty and cannot contain the } symbol. It can be a word, a number or several words together.

How does a cloze exercise work during review?

1. The question appears with the first term replaced by [...] and, if there are several terms, the indicator "Term 1 of 2".
2. Try to recall the hidden word, then click Show the answer (from the keyboard: Space). The term appears under the sentence.
3. Click Remembered or Didn't remember.
4. If the card has more terms, you move on to the next one ("Term 2 of 2"); the other terms are shown in plain text.
5. When the terms are finished, Keeplet records a single result for the card: if you answered Didn't remember for even one term, the card counts as not remembered.

Cards with cloze always use this exercise, whichever mode (Active or Passive) is selected. See Active and passive review mode.

Where can I find a ready-made example?

In the Keeplet in 30 seconds notebook, in the Sample space created on your first visit, the second flashcard is a cloze: "The brain forgets {{70%}} of what you study in a day. Who saves it?".

Frequently asked questions

Can I create a cloze by selecting text with a button?

Not in the current version of the website: there is no button in the right-click bar. Write the double braces around the term, or type {{, the term and }}.

Can I use Anki's cloze syntax, {{c1::term}}?

No. Keeplet reads only {{term}}, without numbers and without c1::. If you paste an Anki card, rewrite the braces in Keeplet's format.

Can I hide more than one word in the same sentence?

Yes. Each pair of braces is a step of the review, and the final rating is the worst of the steps.

Does cloze also work in a note?

No: cloze exercises are reviewed only if the block is a flashcard. Turn the note into one with Turn into card from the handle menu.

How do I review cloze cards in the app for Android and iPhone?

The app has a separate guide: start from Review cards every day.
