How to use the Diction Report

This article gives an in-depth look at the Diction Report and how to use it: [The Diction Report](https://prowritingaid.com/art/360/How-to-use...-The-Diction-Report.aspx)

The Diction Report helps you avoid unnecessarily complicated writing by analyzing your word selection and sentence construction. It does this by highlighting vague and abstract words as well as words that could be simplified.

When it comes to writing, less is more. Too often writers try to sound authoritative by saying simple things in wordy ways. Why write “has the ability to” when you can write “can”? You’re just using more words to say the same thing which makes your writing less clear. We'll find these unnecessarily verbose phrases so you can make every word count.
