Flesch Readability Checker
Score text with Flesch Reading Ease so captions and landing pages stay easy to scan on a phone.
Flesch Reading Ease scores 60–70 are ideal for web content. Higher = easier to read. Scores are estimates — edit for clarity regardless of the number.
What this tool does
Readable pages keep mobile visitors — including people who arrived from Instagram or TikTok — long enough to learn or buy. This free readability checker estimates how hard your text is to process using sentence and word length signals.
Aim for clarity, not dumbing down. Technical topics can score lower legitimately; the goal is unnecessary complexity, not zero expertise.
How to use it

Paste at least 100 words of your article or page copy.
- 2
Review your Flesch Reading Ease score and reading level label.
- 3
Edit sentences that are too long or use too many complex words.
How to improve a low readability score
Shorten sentences. Replace rare words when a simple word works. Break paragraphs that span half a phone screen. Use H2s so scanners can jump. Cut throat-clearing intros.
Read aloud. Anywhere you stumble, your reader will too. Pair with the word counter and heading analyzer when editing blog posts that must rank and convert.
Readability for social-driven landing pages
Traffic from Reels is impatient. Put the promise in the first screen, keep sections short, and use bullets for steps. A brilliant 2,000-word guide still needs an easy on-ramp.
Common mistakes
Chasing a perfect score by deleting necessary terms. Publishing walls of text in size-12 gray font. Ignoring that FAQs and captions also need readable phrasing.
Tips
- Check the final draft, not mid-outline notes.
- Use examples to clarify dense ideas instead of longer sentences.
- Follow with meta tag and OG preview tools before sharing the URL.
