Free Clarity Checker for Your Writing
Paste a paragraph and find out where a reader will get lost. WriteFit points to the 3 most important clarity problems — a vague claim, a buried main point, a sentence that makes the reader work too hard — quotes each one, and tells you what to change. You do the rewrite, so the fix sticks.

Pasted text
Just wanted to give a quick update regarding the situation with the migration. Due to a number of factors, some of which were outside of our control, there have been certain delays, and as a result of this it is likely that the timeline we discussed previously may need to be revisited at some point in the near future, depending on how things progress.
Diagnosis: 3 specific issues
1. The main point is buried at the end of a long sentence
Quoted: it is likely that the timeline we discussed previously may need to be revisited
Why it matters: The one thing the reader needs — the deadline is moving — arrives after 40 words of preamble, and is then softened three times ('likely', 'may', 'at some point'). A busy reader skims the opening and misses it.
Revision task: Make the news the first sentence, stated plainly: what is late and the new date (or when you will know it). Everything else goes after.
2. Vague nouns where facts should be
Quoted: the situation with the migration … a number of factors … certain delays
Why it matters: 'Situation', 'factors' and 'certain delays' tell the reader that something happened without telling them what. They cannot judge how worried to be or what to do.
Revision task: Replace each vague noun with the specific fact: which part of the migration, which cause, how many days.
3. Filler phrases that add length but no meaning
Quoted: Just wanted to give a quick update regarding … as a result of this … depending on how things progress
Why it matters: These phrases make a two-sentence message feel like a paragraph. Each one delays the content and lowers the reader's attention for what follows.
Revision task: Cut every phrase you could delete without losing information, then check the message still says what changed and what happens next.
The checker does not hand you a cleaner email. It shows you where clarity breaks and why, so you can write the two clear sentences yourself — and notice the same habit in your next draft.
What the clarity checker looks for
- A buried main point: the sentence the reader needs most is hidden at the end or softened into a maybe.
- Vague nouns and claims — 'the situation', 'various factors', 'improved results' — where a specific fact belongs.
- Long, tangled sentences that stack clauses until the reader loses the subject.
- Unclear references: 'this', 'it' or 'they' that could point to two different things.
- Filler and hedging that adds words without adding meaning.
