It would be great to allow players to enter more than one word for open ended questions.
Hi KAHOOT__lruf164!
The Word Cloud feature in Kahoot! is designed for short answers, typically one or two words. If you want players to provide longer answers, you should use the Open-Ended feature instead. This feature allows participants to type in more detailed responses, providing more context and depth to their answers, see more here: Kahoot! questions: How to use open-ended questions.
It would be great to have an option for individual respondents to enter multiple responses in a word cloud.
Hello, I am a teacher, and I would like to use the word cloud feature in Kahoot. Which subscription plan do I need to sign up for? Please let me know the most affordable option.
Hi there, The availability of the word cloud question type depends on your plan. Word Cloud question type is not currently available with our current individual K-12 school plans due to Children's Data Privacy laws.
