Count sentences, paragraphs, and get a readability score instantly.
Type or paste your content into the counter above. Sentences, paragraphs, words, and characters are all counted instantly as you type.
The sidebar shows total sentences, paragraphs, words, characters, average sentence length, and the longest and shortest sentences in your text.
The Flesch Reading Ease score tells you how readable your text is. Aim for 60–70 for general audiences; higher for consumer brands, lower for academic writing.
Our free Sentence Counter goes beyond simple counting — it analyses the structure and readability of your writing. Alongside sentence, paragraph, word and character counts, it calculates your Flesch Reading Ease score — the industry-standard readability metric used by educators, publishers and content strategists worldwide.
The Flesch formula considers both average sentence length and average syllables per word. A score of 60–70 indicates plain English suitable for most adults. Academic writing typically scores 30–50. Consumer brands often aim for 70+. Use the score to calibrate your writing for your specific audience — whether you're editing a blog post, a student essay, or a product landing page.
