Read each sentence with its missing word.
AI writes a short passage and lifts out the words that carry the meaning — the missing words wait in a bank below, decoys included.

How to play
Fill every blank with the right word.
That's the goal — no rules to teach. Here's how a round of Fill in the Blank runs.
2
Drag a word from the bank into the gap.
Drag a word into a gap, or just tap it — tap works everywhere the drag does, so a finger on the touchboard lands a word as fast as a mouse.
Fill every blank, then submit to check.
Nothing locks until you check — a word can be pulled back out and swapped — then Submit marks every blank at once, right or wrong.
Ways to play
One passage, three ways to run it
The same Fill in the Blank works as a front-of-class game, a live device round, or take-home practice. Pick at press-play — nothing to rebuild.
On the big screen
Project one passage and the whole class fills it together — you read the line, the room calls the missing word, and you (or the kid whose turn it is) drops it in. No devices, no codes, no logins.
Zero devices · zero prepLive on their devices
Students go to boardee.app/join and type the six-digit code — phones, tablets, chromebooks, any browser. Everyone gets the same passage, and each blank is marked the moment they check.
Join code or QR · no student accountsIn their own time
Share one play link and the passage becomes homework, revision or early-finisher work. Results roll in as each student submits — score and time, no marking pile to take home.

Any sentence worth finishing
If your subject has a word that carries the sentence — a key term, a verb form, a date, a capital — lift it out and it's a Fill in the Blank. Type the topic; AI writes the sentences and stocks the bank, decoys and all.
