The desktop version of Hemingway Editor doesn’t require Internet, so it can be used on any device, and also allows formatting and direct publishing features.

Where emphasis is necessary use words strong in themselves.” I would look for a direct quote that gives the reader a sense of the speaker and what they are describing. ‘Very’ pales beside a strong descriptive word. The exception to the ‘very’ rule is if quoting direct speech. I won’t choose a quote containing ‘very’ unless it is otherwise compelling. It is: chilly, cool, freezing, icy, snowy, glacial, wintry, crisp, frosty, frigid, bitter, cold, biting, piercing, numbing, sharp, raw, polar, arctic, or Siberian (but only in Siberia). You could say , “It is very cold.” Or you could say: In print journalism every word counts and ‘very’ has no value. Here is an example. I have a simpler alternative which is not to use the word ‘very’. I stopped using it ‘very’ soon into my training as a journalist.
Red highlights mean the sentence is ‘very hard to read’. The purple highlighting of ‘very’ means that Hemingway App recommends a simpler word alternative.
