How the score works
Each sentence gets a Flesch-Kincaid grade level: a number based on how long the sentence is and how many syllables its words have. Grade 6 is about the level of a middle-school reader. Shorter sentences and shorter words lower the grade. It is a rough guide, not a judgment of the reader.
