In the editor you'll find three different writing stats under the "Stats" panel on the left.

Readability

The readability score will give you a grade level for the writing in the editor. The lower the grade, the easier it is to read. For most online writing, aim for a grade of 9 or lower.

Writing Flow

This tool helps you visualize the variation of sentence lengths in your writing. A high score means your writing is rhythmic and engaging. You can even highlight the different sentence length buckets so you can visually see how your writing is flowing.

Here's some great advice on how to use the Writing Flow tool:

Voice Profile

99% of writing can be reverse-engineered into 5 different voice archetypes.

Each writer has a unique mix of these archetypes.

Archetype #1: The Storyteller

The Storyteller loves dates, times, locations, real-life examples of what they’ve learned. Storytellers use the phrases like “In 1999…,” “The first time I…, ”“A few years ago…,” etc.

Archetype #2: The Opinionater

The Opinionator is someone who **emphasizes a strong opinion on a topic. The overarching theme here is conviction: “There’s a reason why…,” “It’s unbelievable how…,” “It’s abundantly clear that…,” etc.

Archetype #3: The Fact Presenter

The Fact Presenter backs up their opinion with a memorable stat or research-backed story-study. You know you are a Fact Presenter if you love backing up your writing with stats, studies, research, surveys, etc.

Archetype #4: The Frameworker

The Frameworker gives the reader something actionable they can go and execute on to achieve a similar outcome. The help readers move from point A to point B with organized ideas: “A Proven Process…,” “A Timeless Framework…,” “A Simple Checklist…,” etc.

Archetype #5: The F-Bomb Dropper

F-Bombers are abrasive. Cursing, ranting, and sarcasm are the name of the game here.

And that’s all 5! When you have clarity over which archetype you naturally gravitate towards, it becomes really helpful for when you sit down to write tweets, threads, Atomic Essays, etc.
