Tweet Grader — Score Any Draft 0-100
Paste your draft. Get an instant deterministic grade across 5 dimensions — hook, length, engagement, algorithm signals, reading effort — with specific weakness flags. No AI guesswork, same draft always scores the same.
What the grader actually checks
Hook Strength (30 pts)
Opening pattern, throat-clearing, first-line length, and specificity. The first line decides 90% of whether the post gets read.
Length & Format (20 pts)
Within X's 280-char limit, in the 70-140 char sweet spot, and formatted with line breaks if long. Walls of text get scrolled past.
Engagement Triggers (20 pts)
Reply CTA or question, viral angle (story / contrarian / data), and absence of engagement-bait phrases the 2026 algo suppresses.
Algorithm Signals (15 pts)
External link penalty, hashtag overuse, emoji density. Each gets weighted by its 2026 algorithm impact.
Reading Effort (15 pts)
Average word length, count of long words, and presence of filler words (literally, actually, basically, very, really).
100% Deterministic
Same draft always returns the same score. Iterate confidently — change one thing, see the exact point delta.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the tweet grader work?+
The grader applies AutoTweet's editorial team's framework — derived from 2024-2026 X algorithm research and analysis of high-performing posts — to your draft. It scores 5 dimensions (hook strength, length, engagement triggers, algorithm signals, reading effort) and explains every point gained or lost.
Is this an AI tool or rule-based?+
Rule-based and deterministic — same draft always returns the same score, so you can iterate confidently. The instant grade applies universal high-performance patterns. The optional email signup sends 5 tested tweet patterns that consistently score 85+ on the grader.
What counts as a 'good' tweet score?+
Under 50: likely to under-perform. 50-70: average. 70-85: strong, likely to do better than your baseline. 85-100: viral-ready. Most published tweets score 40-65, so getting to 75+ before you post is a meaningful edge.
Does this work for threads?+
Paste the first post (the hook). The hook does 90% of the work in deciding whether the thread gets read — if your hook scores below 70, the rest of the thread won't matter. For full thread scoring, use AutoTweet's thread builder (paid).
How is this different from posting and seeing what happens?+
The cost of a low-performing tweet isn't just zero engagement — it's the algorithmic suppression that drags down your next 3-5 posts. Pre-publish scoring lets you fix problems before they hurt your reach. AutoTweet's paid product schedules at peak times AND scores every post in your queue automatically.
