Sentence Variety

Check whether your sentence lengths vary and whether you're repeating the same sentence openers.

How the Analysis Works

Sentences are bucketed into three lengths — short (10 words or fewer), medium (11–25 words), and long (more than 25 words) — with a simple bar chart showing the mix. Separately, the tool flags any word that opens 3 or more of your sentences.

Reading the Verdict

A good mix verdict means your sentences span all three length bands, or you're using at least two bands with no repeated opener. A mostly uniform verdict means your sentences are clustering into one pattern and could use more variation.

Why Sentence Variety Matters

Rhythm keeps readers engaged. All-short sentences can read choppy, all-long sentences can exhaust a reader, and repeated openers ("The... The... The...") start to feel monotonous even when each sentence is fine on its own.
