Frequently asked questions
What is a good Reading Ease score?
Higher is easier: scores of 60 to 70 are plain English, while below 30 is considered very difficult and college-level.
How are syllables counted?
Syllables are estimated by counting vowel groups in each word, dropping a silent trailing e, with a minimum of one per word.
