Below: which word deserves the blank, why one blank beats three, cloze's special place in language study, and the honest limits of a rule that cannot read meaning.
WeSolve+ reads the whole document and writes the questions for you
Upload your PDF, photograph your notebook, or point the camera. WeSolve+ writes questions from that material, explains why each answer is right, reads the chapter back to you as a podcast, and remembers every item you missed until you own it.
The tool below is a small browser-only tool and it is not WeSolve+: paste a few lines and text rules turn them into cards on the spot. The real app, the one that uses AI, is behind the link above.
Paste text, get blanks
This is a browser-only tool, and that is all it isIt splits the text you paste by rule, and nothing else. WeSolve+ is a different thing entirely: it reads your whole PDF with AI, writes the reasoning behind every question, speaks the chapter back to you, and remembers what you missed so it can return it. Try the real app now, free!
This tool uses text rules, not AI: plain lines lose their most distinctive word and become blanks; lines written as "term: definition" or as question and answer keep their structure instead. A rule cannot judge meaning, so review each blank before you drill it; the app's AI picks blanks by importance, not length.
Why a blank works: production in a supported frame
A cloze prompt sits between rereading and free recall: the sentence supplies context, the gap demands production. That balance is why blanks suit early stage practice, the frame carries you to the exact spot where memory must perform, and why they lose power once the material is warm: a familiar sentence starts whispering its own answer. Use blanks to install material, then graduate to bare questions that offer no frame at all.
Which word deserves the blank
The blank should hold the sentence's cargo: the term, the number, the name, the direction. Blanking connective words tests grammar, not knowledge; blanking two or three words at once turns recall into a guessing puzzle. This tool picks the longest distinctive word by rule, a decent proxy that misses sometimes, which is why the output is editable practice, not gospel. When a blank feels wrong, the fix is one retype: move it to the word the sentence is actually about.
One line, one idea, one blank
The tool blanks per line, so line discipline is prompt quality: a line carrying two facts produces a prompt that tests one and leaks the other. Split compound notes before pasting, and keep each line short enough to hold in mind whole, the frame should support recall, not become its own reading task. Notes already written one idea per line, the habit every unit of study rewards, convert to clean blanks with zero editing.
Cloze in language learning: the special case
Language study is where cloze earns its reputation: gap the verb and you drill conjugation in context, gap the preposition and you drill the collocation no vocabulary list teaches. Context does real work there, the surrounding sentence disambiguates meaning the way a flashcard pair cannot. The same tool serves both jobs; only your choice of what to paste changes, sentences from your textbook for grammar, your own writing for error hunting.
Honest limits, and where the app takes over
A rule reads length, not importance: it will sometimes blank a long bystander and miss the short word carrying the point. It also cannot vary blanks between rounds or schedule your review. The WeSolve+ app does all three from a whole PDF: picks blanks by meaning, mixes them with questions and cards, and returns misses through spaced repetition until they hold. The paste tool is the porch; the app is the house.

| Sentence part | Blank it? | Why |
|---|---|---|
| The key term | Yes | The sentence's cargo |
| The number or date | Yes | Precision is checkable |
| The name | Yes | Recall, not recognition |
| Connective words | No | Tests grammar, not knowledge |
| Two words at once | No | Recall becomes guessing |
| The whole clause | No | That is a question, use one |
How does this generator pick the blank?
By rule: each plain line loses its longest distinctive word. It is a proxy for importance that works often and misses sometimes; edit the ones it misses.
Does it use AI?
No: text rules in your browser, nothing uploaded. The app's AI picks blanks by meaning from whole PDFs; this tool is the rule based porch.
When are blanks the right practice format?
Early: the sentence frame carries you to the recall point. Once material is warm, graduate to bare questions without the supporting frame.
Why only one blank per line?
Multiple blanks turn recall into puzzle solving. One cargo word per line keeps the practice honest and the answer checkable.
Is cloze useful beyond memorization?
Especially in languages: gapping verbs drills conjugation in context, gapping prepositions drills collocations lists cannot teach.
What does the app add over this tool?
Meaning based blank picking from whole PDFs, mixed question types, and scheduled return of your misses until they stick.
