What is Readability Checker?

Readability is a way to see how easy or hard a piece of text is to read. Our Readability Checker looks at your words and sentences, then gives you simple scores that explain the level of difficulty.

How the Scores Work

Each readability score looks at your text in a different way. Here’s what they mean, explained simply:

  • Flesch Score – The higher the number, the easier the text.
    • 90–100: Very easy (like a children’s story)
    • 60–70: Standard (like newspapers)
    • 0–30: Very hard (like academic papers)
  • Grade Level – Shows the school grade needed to understand.
    • 5 = easy for a 5th grader
    • 12 = high school level
    • 16+ = college level
  • Gunning Fog – Looks at long and complex words.
    • Lower score = simpler writing
    • Higher score = more advanced text
  • SMOG – Checks for tough, long words.
    • Helps measure scientific or health writing
    • Shows the years of education needed
