As you may see in the chart below, the most readable articles are about sportspeople and entertainers (actors and actresses), while the least readable articles are about scientists and philosophers.
Leah Borovoi also calculated the Flesch score for 2000 articles about people on Wikipedia. The average Flesch score for Harry Potter was 72.83, with the highest score (81.32) for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and the lowest score (65.88) for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Leah Borovoi from the Infinity Labs has calculated the Flesch score for the seven Harry Potter books that were located at the Glozman Website. (Most of the 50 used words are monosyllabic "anywhere", which occurs eight times, is the only exception.) Seuss comes close, averaging 5.7 words per sentence and 1.02 syllables per word, with a grade level of -1.3. The lowest grade level score in theory is -3.40, but there are few real passages in which every sentence consists of a single one-syllable word. Due to the formula's construction, the score does not have an upper bound. By creating one-word strings with hundreds of random characters, grade levels may be attained that are hundreds of times larger than high school completion in the United States. The grade level formula emphasises sentence length over word length.
The different weighting factors for words per sentence and syllables per word in each scoring system mean that the two schemes are not directly comparable and cannot be converted. The sentence, "The Australian platypus is seemingly a hybrid of a mammal and reptilian creature" is an 11.3 as it has 24 syllables and 13 words. The result is a number that corresponds with a U.S.
The formula for the Flesch reading-ease score (FRES) test is 206.835 - 1.015 ( total words total sentences ) - 84.6 ( total syllables total words ) In the Flesch reading-ease test, higher scores indicate material that is easier to read lower numbers mark passages that are more difficult to read.
