FAQ

What is lexical diversity?

Lexical diversity measures how varied your word choices are. A score close to 1.0 means you rarely repeat words (high diversity). A lower score means you use the same words frequently. Generally, 0.4-0.7 is typical.

Should I always use simple vocabulary?

No! The best vocabulary level depends on your audience. Technical papers need technical terms. But for blog posts and general communication, simpler vocabulary often leads to better engagement and understanding.

How is grade level calculated?

We analyze average word length, syllable count, and word frequency to estimate the education level needed to comfortably read your text. This is similar to Flesch-Kincaid grade level calculations.
