Essay Helper

Flesch-Kincaid Reading Ease scores text from 0–100. Higher scores mean easier reading. A score of 60–70 suits most general audiences, while academic writing typically scores 30–50. The tool calculates this from syllable count and sentence length.

Enter your topic and select a claim type (argumentative, analytical, or expository). The generator produces a structured thesis sentence following standard academic patterns you can then refine.

The citation formatter supports APA 7th edition, MLA 9th edition, and Chicago 17th edition for books, journal articles, and websites.
