You have a function that gets called onclick named `revealCloze(i);`. This same function could also hide the cloze again. For that you would:

- add an if statement checking if the .cloze had been revealed,
- change the cloze’s text back to what it was before revealing and
- then declare that the cloze is not revealed anymore:

```auto
function revealCloze(i) {
  if (!revealed[i]) {
    elements[i].innerHTML = clozes[i];
    revealed[i] = true;
  } else if (revealed[i]) {
    elements[i].innerHTML = "[...]";
    revealed[i] = false;
  }
}

```
