Reading the score with common sense
Readability formulas look at sentence length and word length. Lower scores usually mean shorter, simpler text. They cannot judge accuracy, tone or structure, so treat them as a prompt to revise rather than a grade.
If a passage scores poorly, split long sentences, replace rare words with common ones and cut filler. Aim for text your audience can read once without re-reading.
