✂️Long Sentence Splitter

Detect sentences over 80 characters and suggest split points to improve readability

How to Use the Long Sentence Splitter

When a sentence runs too long, the subject and verb drift apart and readers lose the thread, and several ideas crammed into one sentence can blur the meaning. Paste your text here and this tool automatically finds sentences longer than 80 characters, then suggests a natural point to split each one so the piece reads more clearly.

Here's how it works: the text is first split into sentences on periods, question marks, and exclamation points, and each sentence's character count is measured. For any sentence over 80 characters, the tool finds the comma closest to the sentence's midpoint and marks that spot as the split candidate (▶). If a long sentence has no commas at all, it marks the character midpoint instead as a rough candidate.

The results box lists each long sentence in order, showing its length and the suggested split point. If nothing exceeds 80 characters, you'll see a confirmation that readability looks good. Use it as a final readability check before publishing a blog post or report.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is 80 characters the cutoff?

Sentences longer than about 80 characters tend to be hard to read in one breath, and the connection between subject and verb often gets lost. It's not an absolute rule, but a practical benchmark widely used for readability checks.

What happens with a long sentence that has no commas?

If a sentence has no commas, the tool marks the character midpoint as a rough split candidate instead. In that case, splitting by conjunction or meaning unit by hand may read more naturally.
