Frequently Asked Questions

?What is a good Flesch Reading Ease score?

A score of 60-70 is considered ideal for general audiences. Scores above 70 are easy to read, while scores below 30 are very difficult and academic-level.

?How is the Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level calculated?

It uses the average sentence length and average syllables per word to estimate the US school grade level needed to understand the text.

?What makes the Gunning Fog Index different?

The Gunning Fog Index specifically focuses on complex words (3+ syllables) to estimate the years of education needed to understand the text on first reading.

?Is my text processed privately?

Yes, all analysis happens 100% in your browser. No text is sent to any server, making it completely safe for confidential content.

?How accurate is the syllable counting?

The tool uses a vowel-group counting algorithm with adjustments for silent-e and special endings. While not perfect for every word, it provides reliable results for readability scoring.
