• 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

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!
