You know what you meant to say. But can your readers understand it? This tool calculates your Flesch Reading Ease and Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level to show you exactly how accessible your content is.
The Flesch Reading Ease score runs from 0 to 100. Higher is easier. Most web content should score 60-70, which means a 13-15 year old can understand it comfortably. That is not insulting - it is practical. Even educated adults prefer easy-to-read content.
Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level tells you the U.S. school grade needed to understand your text. A score of 8 means an 8th grader can read it. For general audiences, aim for grades 6-8. Academic writing can hit grades 10-14, but even scholars appreciate clarity.
Two factors drive these scores: sentence length and word complexity. Long sentences with many multisyllabic words tank your score. Short sentences with common words boost it. The fix is usually simple: break up long sentences and swap complex words for simpler alternatives.
Use this tool while editing. If your score is too low (hard to read), look for sentences over 25 words and words over 3 syllables. Split the sentences and simplify the words. Your readers will thank you by actually finishing your content.
