What is Flesch-Kincaid?

It is one of the most trusted readability tests. It uses word length and sentence length to calculate a U.S. school grade level. A score of 8.0 means an 8th grader can understand the text.

How can I improve my score?

To improve readability (lower the grade level), shorten your sentences and use simpler, shorter words. Break complex ideas into smaller chunks.

Why Readability Matters

Readability scores predict how difficult a text is to understand. For the general public, aiming for a 7th-8th grade reading level ensures your content is accessible to the widest audience. Complex legal or academic texts often score 12th grade or higher.
