Questions
What is a good score?
A reading ease of 60 or more is plain English, suitable for most readers. Aim for sentences of 15 to 20 words.
What is the grade level?
The US school grade needed to follow the text easily. Grade 8 or below suits a general audience.
How accurate is it?
The scores use standard formulas with estimated syllable counts, so treat them as a guide. Passive voice and adverbs are found by pattern, so some may be missed.
