Writing structure quiz.

What it does. Eight multiple-choice questions on the mechanics that hold writing together: the lede's real job, the inverted pyramid, the nut graf, three-act structure, show-don't-tell, skimmability, the through-line of meaning, and how professionals start a long piece.

How to use it. Pick an answer for each question - you get the correct answer and a one-line why immediately. Eight questions, about two minutes. Your score comes with a straight verdict, and Try again reruns the ones you missed.

Why it matters. Most writing problems are structure problems wearing a disguise. A piece that 'doesn't flow' usually has an unkept promise in its opening or moves that arrive in the wrong order. Name the mechanics and they become tools instead of luck.

Your data. The tool runs entirely in your browser - text you paste never leaves the page, and nothing is uploaded to a server.

Where this fits

Quality tools are the last pass, not the first: they catch what familiarity has made you blind to once the real work is done. Used at the end they are a safety net; used at the start they become a way to avoid writing. Finish the draft first, then let the checks be ruthless on your behalf. The order matters less than the habit: same pass, same checks, every time, so nothing depends on how tired you are.
