Writer score overview
As Writer analyzes your text, you'll see an overall score for your document in your suggestion sidebar in both the Writer Editor and extensions. The Writer Score represents how many issues there are in your document relative to its length.
Read the How is this score calculated? section below for more details about the calculation.
As you write with the Writer for Chrome extension, the 
icon that appears inside text areas will update to show the overall score of your content.

How is this score calculated?
First, we calculate each individual suggestion category score.
Individual suggestion category score formula
(Normalized word count^/(Normalized word count + suggestion count)) * 100
^Normalized word count = Total number of words in the document / 75
For example: If your doc has 10,000 words and 50 Clarity issues, your Clarity calculation would be
((10,000 words / 75) / ((10,000 words / 75) + 50)) * 100 =
72.73
Your Clarity score would then be
73 when rounded up.
Final Writer score
To calculate the final Writer score, we take the average of all individual suggestion category scores and round to the nearest whole number.
