I’ve lost the ability to use cloze overlap (laptop broke). Can I use tags to sequence certain questions in order so I can study a list of items in order?

I believe there are templates for overlapping cloze. For example [GitHub - michalrus/anki-simple-cloze-overlapper: Simple Cloze Overlapper template for Anki 2.1 (probably any version, as it's JavaScript-only)](https://github.com/michalrus/anki-simple-cloze-overlapper).

I ain’t that tech savvy, would this work with an iPad?

From the link

> It has been tested to work on Anki (desktop), and AnkiDroid. I assume it should work everywhere indefinitely, as it’s written in JavaScript only.

You can test it by copying the code in the `front.html` and `back.html` files (available on the GitHub page) into the front and back templates of your note type.

If you don’t know what note type and template mean, then please read the [manual](https://docs.ankiweb.net/getting-started.html?highlight=note#note-types).
