Flesch: 72 (Standard)Mathematical Foundations of Text & Readability Analysis
Evaluating writing requires accurate mathematical formulas rather than generic regex approximations. Our engine measures lexical density, syllable counts, and pacing:
206.835 - 1.015 * (words/sentences) - 84.6 * (syllables/words). Scores between 60 and 70 represent plain English accessible to general adult audiences.Frequently Asked Questions
How does the counter distinguish words from symbols?
Our tokenizer isolates contiguous Unicode word characters while respecting internal apostrophes and hyphens (e.g. “state-of-the-art” counts as a cohesive term depending on delimiter preferences). Standalone punctuation marks are excluded from word totals.
What is the ideal word count for SEO articles?
Competitive search research shows top-ranking informational articles on Google typically range between 1,400 and 2,200 words. Comprehensive technical guides often exceed 3,000 words.
Is my text stored or uploaded to any server?
Never. Text is analyzed reactively on your device using client-side JavaScript. Zero bytes are ever transmitted across the internet.
