Missing Word Challenge

What Is the Missing Word Challenge?

The Missing Word Challenge helps learners retain key messages, mantras, or slogans by requiring them to complete a sentence with missing words.

Unlike fill-in-the-blank questions, which rely on direct recall, this format uses drag-and-drop mechanics, allowing learners to place words in the correct order. If a word is placed incorrectly, it returns to the starting position, and the learner tries again.

This challenge is ideal for reinforcing short phrases, cultural values, or critical information.
