How many of the words in this sentence does the average reader actually know?
The question
Dictionaries record what words should mean. Swindlestock measures what they do mean, and to whom.
Collect
Words in actual use are harvested from news, social and reference text, filtered to frequent words with dictionary entries, then rated by a crowd for familiarity and other traits.
Analyze
The ratings feed readability scores for passages and a thesaurus that steers writers away from words their readers will not recognize.
