| Capability Summary | In the Smart Forms editor, WPS provides a Multiple Fill-in Blanks entry for configuring one question with multiple blank positions, adjusting settings, previewing the result, and confirming the setup. | Microsoft Forms lets users create quizzes with question types such as Text, required settings, points, and preview, but its public help page does not describe a native multiple-fill-in-blanks question type. | Google Forms provides short answer and paragraph questions with required settings and response rules, but its public help pages do not describe a native multiple-fill-in-blanks question type. | Notion Forms supports text questions, long answers, required questions, preview, and sharing through database-connected forms, but it is not presented as a quiz-style multiple-fill-in-blanks tool. | Adobe Acrobat supports PDF web forms and form submission workflows for collecting information, but its official help focuses on document forms rather than quiz-style multiple-fill-in-blanks questions. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The question entry is part of the form editing flow. Distinct: It is suited to organizing multiple blank positions inside one prompt and checking the result in preview before confirmation. | Compared with WPS: The official page focuses on general quiz question types such as Text and does not clearly describe a multiple-fill-in-blanks question type. | Compared with WPS: The official guidance focuses on general short-answer and paragraph responses rather than multiple blank positions in one prompt. | Compared with WPS: It is more oriented to database-based information collection than quiz-style multiple blank question setup. | Compared with WPS: It is more oriented to PDF form submission and document workflows than question-based blank configuration. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS Multiple Fill-in Blanks is closer to a question-type configuration workflow inside a form editor, especially when one prompt needs several blank positions. The other products mainly document general text questions or document form workflows, so their public guidance is less specific for this narrower use case.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable for | Main challenge | How this feature helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Classroom blank-filling exercises | Teachers and trainers | One prompt needs several blanks, and splitting it into many questions breaks reading flow | Use Multiple Fill-in Blanks to place several blanks in one question |
| 2 | Training quizzes | Corporate trainers and admins | Teams need to configure structured blank questions and check the result before release | Adjust settings in the panel, then preview and confirm |
| 3 | Structured response templates | Operations and admin teams | Respondents need to complete several fields inside a fixed sentence pattern | Organize the response structure with multiple blank positions |
| 4 | Question bank editing | Content editors and curriculum teams | Configuration is slower when the question entry is hard to locate | Open the target question type directly from the Forms module |
| 5 | Pre-release review | Form maintainers | Display issues are found only after saving and require repeated edits | Preview the result before confirmation to reduce rework |
