Readability Checker
Paste your text. You get the Flesch reading ease score, the school grade it suits, and the specific sentences that are dragging it down.
Fill in the fields above and the result shows here as you type.
Good to know
- The score comes from two things only: how long your sentences are and how many syllables your words have. It is a formula, not a judgement of the writing.
- For a small business website, aim for grade 8 or lower. That is not talking down to anyone; it is how people read on a phone between jobs.
- The fastest fix is almost always the same: split the long sentences.
