Syllable counting is approximate. This tool uses the standard heuristic most readability tools rely on (counting vowel groups per word), not a dictionary lookup, so scores can be off by a small margin on unusual or technical words. Treat the grade level as a directional guide, not an exact measurement, and don't let a technical audience's expected vocabulary push you into over-simplifying if plain language would work just as well.

How to read these scores

The Flesch Reading Ease score runs from 0 to 100; higher means easier to read. The Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level estimates the U.S. school grade needed to understand the text on first read. Most general-audience web content aims for a reading ease in the 60s-70s (roughly 8th-9th grade), while highly technical or academic writing often sits lower without that being a problem, the right level depends entirely on your actual audience.
