🎯 What’s this Snap about?

<aside>

Writing clearly is harder than it looks.

The Flesch Reading Score can help.

It checks how readable your text really is—using sentence length and word complexity. Why does it matter? Because clearer writing means:

This Snap explains how to use the Flesch score, improve it, and even plug it into your prompts. A tiny trick with a big impact.

🧠 Why this works (The mental trick)

<aside>

Most people don’t realize their writing is hard to read—until it’s too late.

The Flesch Score gives you a reality check. It turns fuzzy feelings (“this sounds complex… maybe?”) into a clear number.

It’s not about dumbing things down. It’s about making your message land—faster, cleaner, and with less effort for the reader.

Once you see the score, you’ll want to fix it. That’s the trick: it makes clarity measurable—and addictive.

✍️ Try it: The Prompt + Example

<aside>

Let’s compare two prompts — one standard, and one with Reading Score Flesh adding:

❌ Basic prompt:

Explain what quantum entanglement is in 3 sentences.

AI Response:

Quantum entanglement is a physical phenomenon where pairs of particles become interconnected, such that the state of one instantly influences the state of the other, regardless of distance. This occurs when particles interact and then separate, maintaining a shared quantum state. It challenges classical notions of locality and is a key feature in quantum mechanics and quantum information science.

🟰 Flesch Score: 38 (very hard to read)

✅ With secret code:

Explain what quantum entanglement is in 3 sentences.

Make it readable at a Flesch score of 80+.

AI Response:

Quantum entanglement happens when two tiny particles become linked. When one changes, the other changes too—even far apart. It’s a strange but real part of how quantum physics works.

🟰 Flesch Score: 84 (clear and easy to read)

Same model. Same topic.

Just one extra line in your prompt = a big difference in clarity.

🗂 Flesch Score Reference (0–100 explained)

<aside>

The Flesch Reading Score goes from 0 to 100.

Higher = easier to read.

Here’s how to read your score 👇

Score Reading Level What it means
90–100 Very Easy Simple words, short sentences. Great for kids or quick reads.
80–90 Easy Clear, casual, blog-friendly. Ideal for general audiences. ✅
60–80 Medium Still readable, but a bit heavier. Think news articles or emails.
30–60 Hard Complex phrasing, longer sentences. Academic or technical writing.
0–30 Very Hard Dense, abstract, expert-level. Often unreadable without effort. ❌
