What is a readability checker?

A readability checker measures how easy your writing is to read. This one calculates the Flesch Reading Ease score, the grade level, average sentence length and long-word percentage, then tells you in plain English what's making your copy heavy.

What is a good Flesch Reading Ease score?

For X posts, landing pages and email, aim for 60 or higher — that reads at roughly an 8th-grade level and sells well. Scores below 50 read like a contract and lose skimmers; below 30 is dense and academic.

How is the Flesch Reading Ease score calculated?

It uses the standard Flesch formula: 206.835 minus 1.015 times average sentence length minus 84.6 times average syllables per word. Shorter sentences and simpler words push the score higher, which is why the tool flags long sentences and big words.
