Could you make a version of this where you don't have to answer in the box?

I had to do it like this so that if you typed in the start of the song, you wouldn’t already have filled out half of it and be completely out of the rhythm of the song. I feel like typing it out with the box is easier than dealing with trying to figure out what words are missing from each line, because in the former, you at least get to go along with the lyrics as you answer. For the latter, that doesn’t work for long.
