How Readable Is Josh's Weblog?
Let's test it's readability with the Readability Test from Juicy Studio:
| Summary | Value |
|---|---|
| Total sentences | 450 |
| Total words | 3,230 |
| Average words per Sentence | 7.18 |
| Words with 1 Syllable | 2,089 |
| Words with 2 Syllables | 680 |
| Words with 3 Syllables | 336 |
| Words with 4 or more Syllables | 125 |
| Percentage of word with three or more syllables | 14.27% |
| Average Syllables per Word | 1.53 |
| Gunning Fog Index | 8.58 |
| Flesch Reading Ease | 69.72 |
| Flesch-Kincaid Grade | 5.32 |
My Fog index falls into the “Most popular novels” category.
My Gunning Fox index indicates an eighth to ninth grade required reading level.
My Flesch Reading Ease falls into the recommended 60 to 70 score.
However, my Flesch-Kincaid reading level is fifth grade!
That's an awful lot of variation. I'll have to look into the statistics behind the numbers…
