Purpose: Analyse your writing for readability - Flesch reading ease, grade level, average sentence length and more - to make content clearer.
Writing Analyzer
The Writing Analyzer scores your text for readability using the Flesch Reading Ease and Flesch-Kincaid grade level, helping you match your writing to your audience.
Readability, measured
The Flesch tests estimate how hard text is to read from average sentence length and syllables per word. A high Reading Ease score (60–70+) is easy for most adults; the Grade Level tells you the US school grade needed to understand it. Journalism and web copy usually aim for grade 6–8 for broad accessibility.
Turn scores into edits
If your grade level is high, shorten sentences and swap long words for simpler ones. The analyzer highlights the levers - sentence length and word complexity - so you know exactly what to change. It complements a spell-checker: this focuses on clarity, not just correctness.
