How to Play Cloze Games
A cloze game is a reading comprehension activity where certain words are removed from a text and you need to fill in the blanks with the correct words. This helps improve vocabulary, reading comprehension, and understanding of context.

- Get instant feedback as you type - correct answers show green, incorrect show red
- Use the keyboard for faster input and navigation
- Submit answers to check your overall progress
Drag & Drop Mode
Switch to Drag & Drop mode to:
- Drag words from the word bank and drop them into blank spaces
- Click on words in the bank to automatically fill blanks
- Click on blanks to select or clear them
Game Features

- Progress Bar: Shows your completion percentage
- Color Feedback: Green for correct answers, red for incorrect ones
- Audio Player: Listen to the musical arrangement while you play

Tips
- Read the entire poem first to understand the context
- Look for grammatical clues (verb tense, articles, etc.)
- Use the audio player to hear the rhythm and flow
- Start with easier word skip settings (like every 8th word) and work your way up
- Don't be afraid to use "Show Missing Words" if you get stuck!
- Try both Type In and Drag & Drop modes to see which you prefer
Missing Words
In the stillness of the night.
A love beyond sight.
Memories come alive.
As shadows dance and thrive.
Empty room, shadows on the wall
I see your face, hear gentle call
A year has passed since you slipped
Now your ghost haunts me every day
Whispers of past, echoes of your smile
Memories that last, if for a while
The ghost of you lingers here me
A bittersweet reminder of what used to be
love in uniform, we ran away
Against all odds, seized our wedding day
No children to comfort, just empty nest
Our adventures now just pictures at best
year gone, my heart still bleeds
Your ghostly presence the needs
Of a lonely soul, lost without your
The pain of living becomes too much
Whispers fading, hand in mine
Calling me softly, it's almost time
ghost of you will guide me through
To where we'll finally be renewed
Tears of longing, love, and loss
I prepare to pay death's cost
My darling, wait me, I'm on my way
In your arms is I'll eternally stay
