Juicy Content

We try really hard to write posts that will be enjoyable for our target audience to read. So, we were very interested to learn from the Juicy Studio readability tests that our writing meets the reading comprehension capabilities of the Wordlab readership.
Juicy Studio is an independent UK site, run by Gez Lemon. It's an unfortunate surname, but explains why the site is Juicy. The mission of the site is to promote best practice for web developers, and programmers in a fast moving industry. Whether you're a novice or a professional, there's something for you.
You can run these tests against our website address to see for yourself how we score, but here's the gist of it.

On the Gunning-Fog index, our writing makes sense to readers who are comfortable with Time or Newsweek. You don't have to be capable of reading publications like the Wall Street Journal, the Times, or the Guardian, but if you're more comfortable reading the Bible, TV Guide, and most popular novels, you might find Wordlab a bit of a challenge.

On the Flesch Reading Ease test, the result is an index number that rates the text on a 100-point scale. The higher the score, the easier it is to understand the document. Authors are encouraged to aim for a score of approximately 60 to 70. Wordlab scores a respectable 66.24.

The result of the Flesch-Kincaid grade level is a rough measure of how many years of schooling it would take someone to understand the content. Wordlab readers are expected to be nearing completion of grade seven, and doing well.
