   Hemingway makes your writing bold and clear.
   
   Hemingway highlights long, complex sentences and common errors; if you see a yellow highlight, shorten the sentence or split it. If you see a red highlight, your sentence is so dense and complicated that your readers will get lost trying to follow its meandering, splitting logic — try editing this sentence to remove the red.
   
   Adverbs are helpfully shown in blue. Get rid of them and pick verbs with force instead.
   
   You can utilize a shorter word in place of a purple one. Mouse over it for hints.
   
   Phrases in green have been marked to show passive voice.
   
   Paste in something you're working on and edit away. Or, click the Write button to compose something new.
