📊 Text Statistics

The Flesch-Kincaid readability score measures text complexity on a scale of 0-100. Higher scores indicate easier readability: 90-100 is easily understood by 11-year-olds, 60-70 by 13-15 year olds, and below 30 is best understood by college graduates.

Average word length is the total number of characters in all words divided by the total number of words. English averages about 4.7 characters per word.

For web content, aim for a Flesch reading ease score of 60-70. For academic papers, 30-50 is typical. For children's books, 80-100.

Basic statistics (character count, word count, etc.) work with any text. However, readability scores like Flesch-Kincaid are calibrated for English and may not be accurate for other languages.

Reading Ease uses a 0-100 scale where higher = easier. Grade Level estimates the US school grade needed to understand the text. Both use syllable and sentence counts.

Our tool estimates syllables using a heuristic algorithm that counts vowel groups and applies common English patterns. It is approximate but accurate enough for readability scoring.

For SEO, word count, paragraph count, and readability score are most important. Search engines prefer content with clear structure and appropriate reading level.

Currently, the tool analyzes one text at a time. You can paste multiple texts sequentially for comparison. All processing is done in your browser.
