This free headline analyzer reads your title the way a quick editor would. It counts words and characters, checks each word against built-in lists of common, uncommon, emotional, and power words, reads the overall sentiment, and notes whether the line opens with a number or asks a question. Every result updates as you type.

Use it as a blog title analyzer before you publish, or as an email subject line tester before you hit send. Nothing is uploaded and there is no sign up. The tool runs entirely on your device, so you can paste draft headlines you are not ready to share and still get a headline score checker read in a second.

How it works

  1. 1

    Paste your headline

    Drop a blog title or subject line into the box. The title analyzer starts scoring on the first keystroke, so you can edit and watch the number move.

  2. 2

    Read the breakdown

    See word count, character length against the 60-character title cut-off and the 40 to 50 character subject-line clip, the split of common, uncommon, emotional, and power words, the sentiment read, and whether the line starts with a number or asks a question.

  3. 3

    Adjust and re-score

    Swap a flat word for a stronger one, trim to fit, or reframe as a question, then check how the headline score changes before you commit.

Questions about the headline analyzer

How do I test an email subject line before sending?
Paste the subject line into the box and read the character count. Phones tend to clip subject lines near 40 to 50 characters, so aim to land your key words before that point. The tool also flags emotional and power words, which often lift open rates, and reads whether the line is positive, negative, or neutral.
What is a good headline score in this title analyzer?
The score runs from 0 to 100 and rewards a headline that sits around 4 to 10 words, stays under roughly 60 characters, carries at least one emotional or power word, and reads with clear sentiment. A score in the upper range means the line follows common rules of thumb, but it is a guide, not a promise of clicks.
Does the blog title analyzer send my headlines anywhere?
No. This is a free headline analyzer that runs fully in your browser. Your titles are never uploaded, stored, or logged, so you can test drafts and unpublished ideas privately.
Is it free?
Yes. The headline analyzer is free to use with no sign up and no limits on how many titles or subject lines you check.
