Reading level:
— No text yetReading time = words ÷ WPM. The average adult reads 200-250 words per minute silently, but only 150 words per minute when reading aloud.
Reading level is calculated from the Flesch Reading Ease score — a formula that looks at sentence length and syllables per word. Lower scores mean harder to read:
• Easy (60+): conversational, like a blog post or news article
• Medium (30-60): standard writing, novels, magazines
• Hard (under 30): academic, legal, technical writing
