What is Flesch Reading Ease?
Flesch Reading Ease rates English text on a roughly 0–100 scale. Higher scores usually mean shorter sentences and fewer syllables per word. It is one of the most searched readability metrics and the core score behind ClarityScore.
Common bands: 90+ very easy; 60–70 plain English for general web readers; below 50 harder for a broad audience. The related Flesch–Kincaid grade estimates a U.S. school grade level.
These formulas were built for English. They guide revision; they do not guarantee SEO rankings.
