          <h2>Understanding Readability Checker</h2>
          <p>The Flesch formulas measure how easy text is to read. They analyze sentence length and syllable count. This gives you objective scores instead of guessing.</p>
          <p>Readability matters because it affects understanding. Short sentences and simple words = lower grade levels. This helps more people read your content.</p>

          <h2>How It Works</h2>
          <p>We count words, sentences, and syllables. Plug them into the Flesch formulas. The math handles everything in your browser instantly.</p>

          <h2>Frictionless Utility</h2>
          <p>Paste any English text, hit analyze, see scores. No account, no waiting. All processing happens locally on your machine.</p>

          <h2>FAQ</h2>
          <div class="faq-item" data-faq-item>
            <h3>What is Flesch Reading Ease?</h3>
            <p data-faq-a>Scores 0-100, higher is easier. 60-70 is standard for general audiences. Below 30 is academic/technical.</p>
          </div>
          <div class="faq-item" data-faq-item>
            <h3>What is a good grade level?</h3>
            <p data-faq-a>For web content, aim for grade 6-8. Technical docs can push to grade 10-12 for specialized audiences.</p>
          </div>
          <div class="faq-item" data-faq-item>
            <h3>How do I improve readability?</h3>
            <p data-faq-a>Shorten sentences to 15-20 words average. Replace complex words with simpler synonyms. Add paragraph breaks.</p>
          </div>
          <div class="faq-item" data-faq-item>
            <h3>Does readability affect SEO?</h3>
            <p data-faq-a>Indirectly yes. Easier content keeps readers longer. This reduces bounce rate and improves engagement signals.</p>
