The longest words in a passage are often the ones that slow readers down, so finding them is a fast way to spot places to simplify. This finder scans your text, deduplicates words, and ranks the longest ones by character count, showing the top matches along with each word length. It is useful when editing for plain language, checking that a piece fits a target reading level, or hunting for jargon that could be swapped for a shorter everyday word. It also reports the single longest word, the average word length, and how many words run past a chosen threshold. Not every long word is a problem, since some are precise and irreplaceable, but seeing the list makes deliberate word choices easier.
