What is a readability score?

A readability score estimates how much schooling a reader needs to follow a passage. Flesch Reading Ease and Flesch-Kincaid look at sentence length and syllables. Gunning Fog and SMOG emphasise long words. Dale-Chall and Fry add other views of the same text. None of them judge whether the writing is correct or interesting; they only describe surface difficulty.

Questions

What does Readability Analyzer do?

It estimates how hard a passage is to read using Flesch Reading Ease and several US grade-level formulas, plus word and sentence counts.

How do I use Readability Analyzer?

Paste text or load a sample. Scores update as you type. Import a text file if the passage is already in a document. Copy sits on the top-right of the text box.

What is a good Flesch Reading Ease score?

60–70 is plain English for a general audience. 80 and up is easy. Below 50 is fairly hard. The band next to the score spells this out.

What is the difference between Flesch and grade level?

Flesch Reading Ease is 0–100, higher meaning easier. Flesch-Kincaid grade is a US school year. They use the same ingredients (sentence length and syllables) with different weights.

Why is SMOG or Fry blank?

SMOG is shown only from 30 sentences. Fry is shown only from 100 words, and only if the passage sits on the published Fry chart.

Why do other sites show different scores?

Flesch, Fog, and grade level use the same formulas everywhere, but sites count syllables differently. A word like laughed is one syllable here; a simpler counter may count two and drop Flesch by several points. Dale-Chall also differs: this page estimates difficult words by syllable count, while some tools use a 3,000-word familiar list. Compare the same pasted text, not two different samples.

Does it work for Turkish or other languages?

You can paste any language. The formulas were built on English syllable patterns, so treat non-English scores as a rough guide, not a school grade.

Is my text sent to a server?

No. Analysis runs in this tab. Imported files stay on this device.

Is there a daily limit?

No. There is no daily cap on this tool.
