READABILITY INDICES

Fog                        : 8.1573
Flesch                     : 50.7733
Flesch-Kincaid             : 7.9133


The Fog index, developed by Robert Gunning, is a well known and simple formula for measuring readability. The index indicates the number of years of formal education a reader of average intelligence would need to read the text once and understand that piece of writing with its word sentence workload.

(words_per_sentence + percent_complex_words) * 0.4

  • 18 unreadable
  • 14 difficult
  • 12 ideal
  • 10 acceptable
  • 8 childish
