How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is based on an average silent reading speed of about 225 words per minute, which is typical for adult readers of general text.
What is the Flesch Reading Ease score?
It is a standard 0-100 measure of how easy a text is to read. Higher scores mean easier reading: 60-70 is plain English suitable for most readers, while below 30 is very difficult and best suited to specialists.
What counts as a sentence or a word?
A word is any run of letters or numbers separated by spaces. A sentence is counted at each full stop, question mark or exclamation mark. These are standard approximations used by most counters.
