Read a sentence with a missing word and pick the vocabulary word that fits perfectly in context. Three difficulty tiers from Grade 9 to SAT prep, covering General, Science, Literature, and History โ each sentence is a real-world context clue to help you learn words by use, not just definition.
Choose Your Level and Category
Pick a difficulty tier (Grade 9, Grade 10โ11, or SAT Prep) and a topic category. Grade 9 uses clear, unambiguous sentences; SAT uses sophisticated context where every word counts.
Read the Full Sentence Carefully
A sentence appears with one word replaced by a dashed blank. Read the whole sentence โ the surrounding words, tone, and meaning all hint at what belongs in the blank.
Pick the Word that Fits
Four word choices appear below. Mentally substitute each one into the blank and pick the choice that makes the sentence grammatically and semantically complete.
Use the Definition Hint if Stuck
Tap the ๐ก Definition button to see a brief definition of the correct word. You have 3 hints per game โ use them to learn, not just to guess.
110 Sentence-Based Questions Across 3 Levels
A curated bank of 110 questions spanning Grade 9, Grade 10โ11, and SAT prep โ each a real sentence with one key word replaced by a blank, covering General, Science, Literature, and History.
Context Clues Drive Every Answer
The sentence provides all the clues you need โ tone, grammar, and meaning all point to one best answer. The wrong choices are the same part of speech and could fit grammatically, so you must really read the context.
Definition Hint When You Need It
Tap the Hint button to reveal a clear, concise definition of the missing word. Use it sparingly โ you only get 3 per game โ and watch your vocabulary grow with each clue.
Warm Paper Aesthetic โ Distinct by Design
A warm cream background with a sentence card front-and-center and a clean 2ร2 word grid below keeps focus on the writing. No flashy colors competing with the text.
Seeing a word in a real sentence โ rather than in isolation โ forces you to understand its precise meaning and register. This mirrors how vocabulary actually appears on the SAT and in academic reading, making it a more authentic study method.
The three distractors are the same part of speech as the correct answer and could grammatically fit the blank. The only way to reject them is to understand the full semantic meaning of the sentence โ exactly the skill you need for standardized tests.
Yes! The Grade 9 difficulty uses everyday academic words in clear, direct sentences. Middle school students learning to read for context will find it accessible and educational.
Tapping the ๐ก Hint button reveals a plain-English definition of the missing word. You start with 3 hints per game. Each hint consumed shows the definition and keeps the blank dashed โ you still have to pick the word, not just recognize the answer.
Questions span four categories: General (everyday academic vocabulary), Science (biology, chemistry, physics, earth science), Literature (narrative, poetic, and critical terms), and History (politics, war, society, and economics). Shuffle all categories with 'All Topics' mode.
Each correct answer earns 100 points (Grade 9), 150 points (Grade 10โ11), or 200 points (SAT Prep). A 50-point streak bonus is added for each consecutive correct answer after the first. One wrong answer resets your streak and costs a life โ lose all 3 lives to end the game.
