Why Sentence Length Matters

Varying sentence length creates rhythm and keeps readers engaged. Too many long sentences cause fatigue; too many short ones feel choppy.

Ideal Ranges

  • Average: 15-20 words per sentence is ideal for most writing.
  • Short Sentences: Use for emphasis or punchy statements.
  • Long Sentences: Limit these. Break up sentences over 25 words.

Readability Impact

Academic writing tends toward longer sentences, while web content favors shorter ones (14-17 words average).
