Not every check on a draft needs a full composite readability score, sometimes the useful thing is just a quick read on the basics, how long sentences are running, how many syllables words average, how long words tend to be overall, a fast glance rather than a deeper multi-measure analysis. This tool reports syllable count, average sentence length, and average word length for any text, a quick baseline read rather than a combined readability score.

Useful for getting a fast sense of whether sentences are running too long during a first draft, checking average word length before simplifying dense, jargon-heavy writing, or getting a quick baseline reading before deciding whether a deeper readability analysis is actually needed.

Quick answers for Text Statistics

How is average sentence length calculated?
It counts sentences by matching runs of ".", "!", or "?" in your text, then divides your total word count by that sentence count to get words per sentence.
How does it estimate syllables per word?
It strips non-letters from each word, treats words of 3 letters or fewer as one syllable, drops a trailing silent e or -ed/-es ending, then counts groups of vowels (a, e, i, o, u, y) in what remains.
What other numbers show up besides syllables, sentence length, and word length?
The full grid also shows character count with and without spaces, paragraph count, estimated reading and speaking time in minutes, and a Flesch reading ease score.
