Readability Score Checker

• 90-100: Very easy — 5th grade. Children's books.
• 70-90: Easy to fairly easy — 6th-7th grade. Popular fiction.
• 60-70: Plain English — 8th-9th grade. Sweet spot for web content.
• 50-60: Fairly difficult — 10th-12th grade. The Wall Street Journal.
• 30-50: Difficult — College. Most B2B SaaS lands here.
• 0-30: Very difficult — Academic and legal writing.

• Shorten sentences. Aim for 15-20 words on average. If a sentence has more than one comma, consider splitting it.
• Simpler words. “Use” beats “utilize”. “Help” beats “facilitate”. Cut Latin, keep Anglo-Saxon.
• Active voice. “Hyperleap built the chatbot” beats “The chatbot was built by Hyperleap”.
• One idea per paragraph. Web readers scan — short paragraphs are visually easier.
• Lists for parallel items. Three or more parallel things become a bullet list.
