Reading ease is a 0 to 100 score where higher means easier. The Flesch-Kincaid grade level translates that into a US school grade, so you can see roughly what education level your text needs.
It uses the Flesch reading-ease and Flesch-Kincaid grade formulas, which combine your average sentence length and average syllables per word. You need at least 10 words for a result.
Words with three or more syllables are counted as complex, since longer words tend to slow readers down. The tool lists them so you can decide whether a simpler word would fit.
