About the statistics and readability score

This tool reports reading time (at 200 words per minute) and speaking time (at a slower 130), alongside word, character, sentence, paragraph, syllable and unique-word counts. Sentence splitting is not a naive split on full stops: abbreviations such as Dr. and decimals such as 3.5 are stitched back together, so the sentence count and every average built on it stay honest. The Flesch Reading Ease score runs from roughly 0 to 100, where higher is easier — most general-audience writing aims for 60 or above — and the Flesch–Kincaid Grade Level expresses the same thing as a US school grade. Both formulas depend on a syllable count, which is an estimate produced by the standard vowel-group heuristic; every readability formula in common use is built on one. The longest sentence is called out separately, because it is usually the one worth rewriting.
