Questions

Which words are blanked?
A word is a run of letters, digits and marks, with apostrophes and hyphens kept inside it, so “l’après-midi” is one word. Words shorter than your minimum are not counted at all. Of the words that count, every Nth one is hidden, which gives an even rhythm rather than a random one.
What does the offset do?
It moves which words disappear without changing how many. With every 3rd word and offset 0 the 3rd, 6th and 9th word go; with offset 1 the 2nd, 5th and 8th go. Use two offsets to make two versions of the same exercise.
Is my text sent anywhere?
No. The exercise is built in your browser, nothing is uploaded and nothing about the text is recorded.
