Flesch Reading Ease Score Guide
How This Tool Improves Your Writing
Our readability checker uses proven linguistic analysis to help you write clearer, more engaging content.
Sentence Length Analysis
Long sentences are harder to follow. We highlight sentences over 14 words (hard) and 25 words (very hard) so you can break them up.
Passive Voice Detection
Passive voice weakens your writing. We identify passive constructions so you can rewrite them in active voice.
Adverb Highlighting
Adverbs often weaken verbs. We flag them so you can choose stronger verbs instead of relying on modifiers.
Complex Phrase Simplification
Phrases like "in order to" can be simplified to "to". We identify wordy phrases that can be made more concise.
