Cover letter checker — FAQ
What does the cover letter checker look for?
It scores six things hiring managers notice: an appropriate length (200–400 words), a specific opening (not "To whom it may concern" or "I am writing to apply"), clear paragraph structure, at least one quantified achievement, a closing call to action, and the absence of tired clichés. You get a 0–100 score with a fix for each.
How long should a cover letter be?
Aim for 200–400 words across 3–4 short paragraphs: a specific hook, your most relevant quantified achievement, why this company, and a clear closing call to action. Anything under ~180 words tends to feel thin; over ~450 words rarely gets read in full.
Is the cover letter checker free and private?
Yes — free, no signup, and it runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you paste is uploaded or stored.
