Readability Score Checker
Did you know that 50% of the US adult population reads at an 8th-grade level or below? If your content is too complex, you are alienating half your audience.
Search engines also prefer content that is easy to digest. Google's algorithms analyze user behavior—if users bounce because your text is a wall of jargon, your rankings will drop.
How Flesch-Kincaid Works
The formula looks at two main factors:
- Sentence Length: Long sentences tax working memory. Keep them short.
- Word Complexity: Words with many syllables (e.g., "utilization") are harder to process than short synonyms (e.g., "use").
Our tool calculates these ratios instantly to give you a Grade Level.
