Paste or type your text and get an instant readability report: a reading-ease score, an estimated grade level, and basic stats like word and sentence counts. It updates as you edit, so you can see the effect of shorter sentences and simpler words right away.
A higher reading-ease score means easier text. The grade level tells you roughly how much schooling a reader needs to follow it comfortably. For most websites, emails, and marketing, aiming for around a grade 7 to 8 level keeps your writing clear for a wide audience.
People skim, and complicated writing gets abandoned. Clear, simple sentences are read to the end, understood, and acted on, which is exactly what you want from web copy, emails, and product pages.
