First 8 words carry ~70% of the scroll-stopping weight.
01What we grade

Four things decide if the hook lands.

01 · FIRST 8 WORDS

Does it stop the scroll?

The opening words appear in the timeline before the fold. If they don't earn the tap, nothing else matters.

02 · CURIOSITY GAP

Is there a reason to read on?

A good hook opens a loop the reader needs closed: a claim, a tension, a number that begs a why.

03 · SPECIFICITY

Receipts, not vibes.

Concrete numbers and named things beat abstractions. "412 evals" outperforms "a lot of tests" every time.

04 · LENGTH & RHYTHM

Tight enough to read fast.

Short declaratives read faster than clauses. If the first line needs a breath, it's too long.

02Common questions

Short answers.

What makes this different from a hook generator?

Generators hand you options with no reasoning. This scores your draft against real criteria and tells you why it works or doesn't, then rewrites it. You learn, not just copy.

Is the hook analyzer free?

Yes. The score and critique are free with no email. The 5 rewritten hooks are free too; we just ask for an email to unlock them. You get 5 runs per day.

Will the rewrites sound like me?

The rewrites keep your register: they stay lowercase if your draft is, and they don't inject emoji or hashtags you didn't use. To lock in your exact voice profile across every draft, the Voxly writer agent does that inside the product.

What's a good hook score?

Under 50 needs a rewrite. 50-74 is publishable but soft. 75+ is scroll-stopping. Aim to open with a claim or a number, not a throat-clear.

Why do the first 8 words matter so much?

On the timeline, the opening words are all a reader sees before deciding to stop or scroll past. If they don't earn the tap, the rest of the post never gets read. That's why the analyzer grades them hardest.

Want hooks this strong on every draft?

Voxly drafts posts in your voice and sharpens every opening automatically. No more guessing what stops the scroll.
