Workflow: From Draft to Polished
- Paste a representative sample (300–500 words).
- Check Flesch and FK Grade; note long sentences and jargon clusters.
- Trim run-ons; define acronyms; convert passive to active where it helps.
- Re-run the analyzer and compare improvements.
- Finish with headings and lists for skim-friendly structure.
SEO Tips (That Aren't Spammy)
- Use frequency as a revision guide, not a quota.
- Group related terms into sections with descriptive headings.
- Answer the intent in the first 100–150 words.
- Link to related posts and define key terms once.
Accessibility Essentials
- Write descriptive link text (no “click here”).
- Ensure readable contrast and visible focus states.
- Use lists for steps, not comma splices.
Methodology (Quick)
We compute Flesch Reading Ease and Flesch–Kincaid Grade using standard formulas. Words include common contractions (e.g., don’t), sentences are split by end punctuation with safeguards for abbreviations and numbers, and syllables are counted via a robust heuristic with special cases and a minimum of one per word.

FAQ
Do you upload my text?
No—analysis runs locally in your browser. We don’t store pasted text.
What’s a “good” readability score?
For most web content, Flesch 60–80 works well. Prioritize clarity for your audience over chasing a single number.
Why does my score change after small edits?
Short samples are sensitive to sentence and syllable counts. Try 300–500 words for a stable estimate.

Deep Dive: Interpreting Results
Raw frequency alone can be misleading. Use relative metrics like keyword density and unique word ratio to understand emphasis and variety. Aim for a natural balance rather than hitting an exact percentage.
- Keyword Density: (count ÷ total words) × 100. Good content typically falls between 1–2.5% for a primary term.
- Type–Token Ratio (TTR): unique words ÷ total words. Higher TTR suggests varied vocabulary.
- Stopwords: Try toggling them off to surface meaningful terms.
SEO Best Practices
- Write for people first, search engines second.
- Use synonyms and related phrases to avoid over‑optimization.
- Place key phrases naturally in headings, intro, and conclusions.
- Combine this tool with readability checks and internal linking.
Editorial Workflow
- Draft freely without worrying about keywords.
- Analyze with this tool to find overused words.
- Revise for clarity, variety, and user intent.
- Re‑analyze to confirm improvements.
Common Pitfalls
- Chasing exact % targets instead of natural flow.
- Counting plural/tense variants as separate ideas.
- Ignoring headings and image alt text in optimization.
Worked Example
Suppose your article has 1,000 words and you used “meal prep” 18 times. Density = 18 ÷ 1000 = 1.8%. If TTR is 0.62, your vocabulary variety is healthy. Consider adding related terms like “batch cooking” or “weekly plan.”
Glossary
- Frequency: How often a word occurs in your text.
- Lemma: Canonical form of a word (e.g., “run” for “running”).
- Collocation: Words that commonly occur together (e.g., “strong tea”, “make a decision”). Useful for natural phrasing.
- Stopwords: Common function words (the, and, of) often excluded.

What These Scores Mean
How it’s calculated
Flesch uses average sentence length and syllables per word. Higher is easier to read.
FK Grade converts that into a U.S. grade‑level estimate.
Good targets
- General web content: Flesch 60–80 (Grade 7–10)
- Technical docs can be lower; consumer help should be higher.
Improve readability
- Shorten sentences; use active voice.
- Swap jargon for familiar words.
- Break up dense paragraphs with lists.
