<p>
The higher percentage of reused words you have, the more likely a reader will
be able to understand new words from context alone, as they'll have more instances
in which they can infer a meaning from that word's surroundings.
</p>
<p>
Having a higher number of reused words can make text much easier to read and understand,
but a limited vocabularity may result in repetition and bland writing. Having a higher
number of unique words may indicate more effective word choice, but can also be indicative
of jargon.

<p>
A <em>complex word</em> is a word made up of at least two morphemes.
Conversely, a <em>simple word</em> consists of only one.
For example, "bookishness" is a complex word with morphemes "book", "ish", and "ness";
"active" is a simple word with just one morpheme: "active".
</p>
<p>
Having a healthy mixture of simple and complex words is an important aspect of variety
in your writing. Replacing complex words with simple words can make your story easier
to understand, while replacing simple words with complex words can more efficiently
pack more context and information into the words you choose to use.
