About this tool
X Banger Score grades a draft tweet against the signals X's own open-source ranking algorithm rewards and penalizes, then gives you a 0–100 score, a plain-English breakdown, the single biggest change to make, and two higher-scoring rewrites. Paste a tweet you're about to post and find out — before you hit send — whether it's built to spread or built to get buried.
The score is grounded in how the algorithm actually ranks the "For You" feed. It heavily rewards replies and real conversation (a reply is worth far more than a like, and a reply you respond to is worth more still), profile clicks, and dwell time, while it quietly demotes posts with external links, walls of hashtags, and obvious engagement-bait. The tool checks your draft against each of those factors and tells you which ones you're winning and which ones are capping your reach.
Be clear on what this is and isn't: it's an alignment score, not a promise of views. Real reach also depends on your audience size, timing, and plain luck — no tool can guarantee a viral tweet. Use the score and the rewrites to ship tweets that give the algorithm what it's looking for. Your draft is sent to our server to analyze; don't paste anything private.

Input

Output
Lower score: the external link is demoted and there's no reply hook. The rewrites move the link to a reply and open with a question.
Scores reflect alignment with the algorithm's signals, not guaranteed reach.
Common uses
- Creators checking a tweet's algorithm alignment before posting, to avoid burying it with a link or too many hashtags.
- Founders and marketers tightening hooks so a post drives replies and profile clicks instead of just likes.
- Anyone rewriting a flat tweet into a hookier, more reply-driving version using the suggested rewrites.
- Comparing two drafts to see which one the algorithm is more likely to reward.
Frequently asked questions
What is X Banger Score?+
It's a free tool that scores a draft tweet from 0 to 100 based on how well it aligns with the signals X's open-source ranking algorithm rewards — like replies, conversation, profile clicks, and dwell time — and penalizes, like external links and excessive hashtags. It also gives a breakdown and higher-scoring rewrites.
Does a high score guarantee my tweet will go viral?+
No. It's an alignment score, not a reach guarantee. The algorithm decides distribution, but real reach also depends on your audience, timing, and luck. A high score means your tweet is built the way the algorithm rewards — it stacks the odds in your favor, it doesn't promise a result.
How is the score calculated?+
It grades your draft against the ranking factors X published when it open-sourced its algorithm — for example, replies and reply-driven conversation are weighted much higher than likes or reposts, while links and engagement-bait are demoted. An AI model evaluates your specific tweet against those factors.
Is my tweet private?+
Your draft is sent to our server and an AI model to analyze it. It is processed to produce the score and isn't stored or sold. Because the text leaves your device, don't paste anything sensitive.
Is it free?+
Yes, it's free with no sign-up. To keep it free and prevent abuse there are fair-use limits on how many tweets you can score in a short period.
