Read the rhythm behind the average.

01 · YOUR WRITING9 parsed sentences
Same average, different reading rhythm.

Spread and short runs of similar sentence lengths reveal patterns that one average hides.

This English-oriented splitter handles common abbreviations, initials and decimals, but punctuation cannot identify every sentence perfectly. Word counts use English-style letter and number tokens; inspect the list below, especially for quotations, fragments, or non-English text. These statistics are descriptive prompts, not a target or writing score. Purdue OWL: sentence variety ↗
