How it works

Sentences over ~18 words are flagged (over ~25 more strongly), since long sentences are harder to follow. Words ending in “-ly”, common filler words and likely passive constructions are marked so you can tighten them. The Flesch reading-ease score and grade level summarize overall difficulty. Everything is computed in your browser — nothing is uploaded. Need raw counts? Use the word counter.
