What it Does

This application goes through a Google document and highlights sentences which contain a large percentage of 'glue words.'

Glue words are words like "that, this, very, some, and" which are important for holding sentences together, but which might make sentences difficult to read.

Glue words should make up 45% or less of a sentence, but this is more of a guideline, rather than an actual rule.

The glue word finder does not:

  • check your grammar
  • check your spelling
  • replace glue words
  • change your document at all

It's sole purpose is to flag sentences that you, the author, may want to re-examine.

The glue word finder was written with prose-type writing in mind.
