How the difficulty modes work

What makes an answer correct

A correct answer must fit the full context. It should make the sentence or passage clearer, not just match one nearby word.

In Hard rounds, both answers need to work together. One good word is not enough if the second blank breaks the passage meaning.

Reading strategy

• Read before and after the blank before looking at choices.
• Look for contrast words, cause-and-effect clues, examples, and tone.
• Replace the blank with each option and reread the sentence.
• Choose the answer that keeps the whole passage natural and precise.

Scoring and review

• Correct answer: 1 point.
• Incorrect answer: 0 points.
• A perfect round can earn a bonus point.
• The summary shows missed questions with the correct answer and explanation.

Context Clue Challenge tips

• Do not answer from one clue word alone.
• Use tone: a serious sentence usually needs a serious word.
• In Hard mode, solve both blanks before committing.
