A note on scoring

Headline scores are educated guesses, not gospel. This tool checks length, word count, presence of numbers, headline type (how-to/list/question), and matches against an open list of common "power" and emotional words. The big paid tools use larger, proprietary lists and machine-learned rankers — treat this score as a sanity check, not a verdict.
