If your readers have to fight their way through long sentences and rare words, they will stop reading. A readability score tells you at a glance whether your writing is pitched at the right level for your audience. This tool computes the two most widely used measures — the Flesch Reading Ease score and the Flesch-Kincaid grade level — along with word and sentence counts and an estimated reading time.
Use it to keep a product page clear, a blog post approachable, or an instruction manual easy to follow. Paste in any English text and the numbers update live as you edit.
What is a good reading ease score? 60–70 is a good target for general audiences; below 30 is very difficult.
Is the score exact? It uses the standard formula with an approximate syllable count, which is accurate enough for practical writing.
