Very Easy to Read

What this score means

The Flesch Reading Ease score is a widely used metric where higher scores indicate easier-to-read text. Scores typically range from 0 to 100. A score of 90–100 is easily understandable by an 11-year-old, 60–70 is plain English easily understood by 13- to 15-year-olds, and 0–30 is best understood by college graduates. The metric uses sentence length and syllable density as proxies for complexity: shorter sentences and words with fewer syllables raise the score.
