Guide:Flesch Reading Ease

The Flesch Reading Ease test is a score used to determine how readable an article or story is by a certain audience. It is essential to use, when writing for a specific audience.

The stories of Omniverse: Galactic Conquest Wiki are targetted towards teen to young adult audiences. Therefore, it is recommended to aim for a difficulty level somewhere in between 60 and 80.

How to determine
The formula for determining the reading ease of your story is as follows. Of course, it is extremely tedious to count each word and syllable by hand, so many Word processors are able to calculate the score for you:


 * 206.835-1.015(total words/total sentences) - 84.6(total syllables/total words)

Once you have your score, look at the table below to see where your story fits in.
