Interpretation: Very difficult; review sentence length and word choice.

Low-confidence sample: This estimate uses an English-oriented vowel-group syllable heuristic and Flesch formulas. Names, abbreviations, numbers, technical terms, poetry, and non-English text can make it unreliable; use at least 100 words for a steadier estimate.

How this tool works

The estimate counts sentences, words, and syllables, then applies the displayed readability equation to approximate reading level.

Limits to know

Readability formulas estimate text difficulty from surface counts and do not measure accuracy, accessibility, subject knowledge, organization, or suitability for an individual reader. Syllable heuristics can differ from dictionaries.
