Free quiz generator (fill-in-the-blank and true/false)

Paste a passage, get a printable worksheet with an answer key. It is a simple rule-based tool, not AI, and nothing you paste leaves your browser.

This page turns a block of text into two kinds of recall items: fill-in-the-blank (cloze) sentences and true/false statements. It looks for words that appear often, look like names or terms, or are long, blanks one per sentence, and hands you a worksheet and an answer key you can print. There is no account, no AI, and no server involved. Nothing you type leaves your browser, and nothing is stored once you close the tab.

This is a simple tool, and it says so. It counts words; it does not understand them. Sometimes it blanks a word that has three defensible answers, and its false statements can be silly instead of tempting. Read every item before it goes in front of students. Edit any item right on the page, and change the key to match.

How to use it

1

Paste a passage

Your own notes or a reading you have the right to use. Full sentences give better items than bullet fragments.

2

Pick how many items

Start small. Eight blanks and four true/false statements is already a decent exit-slip length.

3

Read and edit

Click into any item to fix it. If you change a blank, change the key line as well.

4

Print

Print the student copy, or the copy with the answer key on its own page. Your browser can also save it as a PDF.

What the rules actually do

The text is split into sentences. Sentences shorter than six words or longer than forty are skipped. Every other word of four letters or more gets a score: how many times it appears in your passage, a bonus if it is capitalised in the middle of a sentence (a likely name or term), and a small bonus for long words. The top-scoring word in a sentence is the blank. The tool prefers a different answer for each item, so one word does not take over the sheet.

True/false items reuse sentences. Every second one has its key term swapped for a different term from elsewhere in your text, which makes the statement false. That swap can produce nonsense, which is why the key shows the original sentence next to each F.

Where it falls short

Fill-in-the-blank checks recall, and recall is useful: pulling a term out of memory is practice in a way that rereading is not. It is a fair way to build retrieval practice into a lesson. But a blank cannot test whether a student can apply an idea, and a true/false item gives a student a fifty percent chance by guessing. Math, tables, lists and poetry do not survive the sentence splitter. I have only tested it on English prose.

How it compares with ClassSense

ClassSense does something different. You upload a whole unit (PDF, DOCX or PPTX) and it builds skill packs with multiple-choice practice where the wrong options are tied to named common misconceptions, then tracks mastery per student per skill. The Create Content tab can also produce a worksheet or assessment as a .docx. That is more work for the software and it costs $19 a month after 30 free days, no card. This page is free, takes ten seconds and blanks keywords. If you want quick recall items from one passage tonight, use this page. If you want practice that finds out why a student is wrong, see the ClassSense quiz generator or read about writing distractors from misconceptions.

Common questions

Does this use AI or send my text anywhere?

No. It is ordinary JavaScript running in your browser. There are no network calls, no cookies and no storage. Close the tab and your text is gone.

Why did it blank a strange word?

It scores words by frequency, capitalisation and length. It does not know which word matters pedagogically. Edit the item, or paste a tighter passage so the important terms repeat.

Can it make multiple-choice questions?

No. It makes fill-in-the-blank items and true/false statements, with an optional word bank. Good multiple-choice distractors need an understanding of what students get wrong, which this tool does not have.

Is it fine to use with my class?

Yes, it is free, with no sign-up. You are responsible for having the right to use the text you paste, and for checking every item before students see it.
