How the score works

Hook Roaster weighs five signals, 20 points each: curiosity, clarity, specificity, emotion, and length / scannability. It looks for power words, numbers, questions, filler, clichés, line length, and whether the reader shows up as “you.” Rewrites are templates filled with the topic, role, and numbers it finds in your opener. Edit any scene so the story is actually yours.

Awaiting a hook

  1. A score across five signals
  2. A roast that still wants you to post
  3. Three rewrites: bold claim, story, question
