    What is cloze deletion in flashcards?

    Short answer

    Cloze deletion is a flashcard format where one or more words in a sentence are hidden, and you recall the missing piece. Example: "The mitochondria is the {{c1::powerhouse}} of the cell." Best for definitions, formulas, and vocabulary.

    Cloze deletion preserves the context around the answer, which makes it easier to retain than isolated Q/A cards. It's the format of choice for medical school terminology, language vocab, and STEM formulas.

    The syntax {{c1::answer}} marks a deletion. Multiple deletions ({{c1::}}, {{c2::}}) on the same sentence create multiple cards from one source — each generates a separate card with that specific blank.

    QuickCards lets you write cloze cards manually in the editor or generate them automatically from any source — paste a vocab list and the AI clozes the key terms.
