Headline Analyzer

This is a lightweight rule-based scorer, not a machine-learning model or a clone of any proprietary algorithm. It splits your text on whitespace to count words, lowercases each word, and strips non-letters before matching. The score starts at 50 if the headline is 6 to 12 words long, otherwise 25. It then adds 10 points for every word found in a fixed list of about 20 'power words' (proven, ultimate, best, secret, instant, and similar), 5 points for every word in a list of roughly 15 'emotional words' (love, fear, amazing, shocking, and so on), and 15 points if the headline contains any digit. The total is capped at 100. Because the word lists are short and hardcoded, synonyms and many strong words score zero, and the tool cannot judge meaning, grammar, or actual click appeal. Treat the number as a quick nudge toward proven patterns (a tight length, a vivid word, a concrete figure), not a verdict. For rigorous testing, run real A/B or multivariate tests with your own audience.
