Fluency Sort

How?

The fluency score ranks words by how easy they are for people to read, say, and process at a glance. Each word is scored using a mix of signals: shorter words score better than longer ones, words with fewer syllables tend to feel easier to say, and familiar letter/sound patterns are easier than awkward clusters. It also factors in how common the word is in everyday English — more frequently used words get a small boost (a lower score) because they’re faster to recognise and recall — while rare letters and hard-to-pronounce sequences receive light penalties.

The score combines these simple factors into a single number and then orders the words from easiest to hardest, with lower scores meaning higher fluency.
