Questions
What is an X hook grader
A tool that checks the opening of a post on X before you publish it. This one scores your draft on 11 rules, and each rule comes from a real post in our library that shows it working.
How does the tweet hook checker score my post
It runs 11 rules in your browser: the first line carries the post, problem before product, speaks to the reader, names a shared feeling, has a real number, has a twist, says exactly what it is, plain words, a reason to look now, a reply prompt and no hard sell. Each rule has a weight. A pass earns its points, a near miss earns half, and the score is the share of points earned.
Where do the rules come from
From the posts in Viral X Post Patterns and Hooks That Work on X. Every fix links to the post that shows the rule, so you can see it before you copy it.
Can it predict how many likes I get
No. Reach depends on your audience, timing and what is in the image or video. This checks the words you control, so a weak opener does not waste a good idea.
Is the X hook grader free
Yes, free and no signup. No. There is no login and nothing is saved. Everything runs in your browser.
