About Readability Analyzer

Readability formulas estimate the education level required to understand a piece of text. Different formulas use different inputs — syllables per word, words per sentence, characters per word, or polysyllabic word counts — so each yields a slightly different score.

For general content, target a Flesch score above 60 (8th–9th grade). Legal or academic text often scores below 30. Aim for grade 8–10 for broad audiences.
