Remove the Vowels FAQ

Practical answers about setup, classroom use and what pupils need to do.

Can I control how many vowels are removed?

Yes. Remove all vowels, a random percentage of them, or keep the first vowel of each word as a clue.

Does y count as a vowel?

By default no, but there is a toggle to treat y as a vowel for harder challenges.

Can I use my own word list?

Yes. Paste any words or passage — the teacher always supplies the content.
