Description

Cloze Dropdown is an interactive Anki cloze deletion add-on that turns normal cloze cards into multiple-choice dropdown quizzes.

Instead of typing the missing word or phrase, select the correct answer from a dropdown menu. Create cloze cards normally, then use interactive answer choices for faster and more active review.

Cloze Dropdown cards work on Anki Desktop, AnkiMobile, AnkiDroid, and AnkiWeb.

Cloze Dropdown is useful for language learning, grammar, vocabulary, active recall, self-testing, medical terminology, science, history, definitions, and exam preparation.
