What score should I aim for?

Around 60 to 70 is comfortable for most readers. Higher is easier and good for a wide audience, while lower suits technical or academic writing.

How are syllables counted?

How can I raise the score?

Use shorter sentences and simpler, shorter words. Breaking long sentences in two often makes the biggest difference.
