למלא את החסר Explanation: The specific metaphore you mention (with משבצת) probably doesn't exist in this context anymore. Yet, what you refer to is perfectly covered by the above. I'd even go further and use a linguistic take on this: למלא את המחסר Since מחסר is exactly the linguistic term used in Hebrew for a lacuna in the language (I.e. a word for spam (UK English...)). |

לשבץ Explanation: When coining a new Hebrew word, a three-letter root is filled into an existing grammatical model. This can be called שיבוץ even nowadays, though it is neither a metaphor, nor a term. It's merely a way to describe the process. |

מה במשבצת? Explanation: It just occurred to me that there is a "learning" game called מה במשבצת, and perhaps that is what you are after. The game isn't a word learning game, but could be adapted (I think) to teaching words. Just another suggestion. |
