Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Flesch-Kincaid readability score?
It rates text on a 0–100 scale. Higher scores mean easier reading: 90–100 is very easy (5th grade), 60–70 is standard (8th–9th grade), and below 30 is very difficult (college graduate level).
What are stop words?
Stop words are common words like "the", "and", "is" that carry little meaning. They're excluded from keyword density analysis to surface the most relevant terms in your content.
