The Clozemaster alternative

InputDojo vs Clozemaster

Sentence-level vocab practice — from content you actually chose to read.

Why InputDojo

Clozemaster's core insight is right: learning words inside sentences beats learning them in isolation. It delivers that through gamified fill-in-the-blank drills over tens of thousands of community sentences in 50+ languages. InputDojo agrees on the principle but flips the source: instead of random sentences from a database, every word you save comes with the exact sentence from the article or video you found it in. Same context-based learning, but the context is content you chose — which makes the words easier to remember and the study more interesting.

FAQ

Does InputDojo have cloze-deletion exercises like Clozemaster?+

Not as a rapid-fire game — InputDojo's SRS reviews show your saved words with the original sentence they came from. Clozemaster is more fun as a quick daily drill; InputDojo ties every review back to content you've actually read.

Clozemaster covers 50+ languages — does InputDojo?+

No, InputDojo supports 14 languages with deep CJK support (segmentation, furigana, pinyin). If you're learning a less common language, Clozemaster's breadth is a real advantage.

Which is better for absolute beginners?+

Neither is ideal from zero — both work best once you have basic grammar. Clozemaster's frequency-ordered sentences and InputDojo's graded exam tracks both become effective around the same point, roughly A1–A2.
