[`spache-formula`][spache-formula] for the formula.\n\nAlternatively, you can use [`dale-chall`][dale-chall], which has more words\n(about 3 000) and is more recent (1995).\n\n## Install\n\nThis package is [ESM only][esm].\nIn Node.js (version 14.14+, 16.0+), install with [npm][]:\n\n```sh\nnpm install spache\n```\n\nIn Deno with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:\n\n```js\nimport {spache} from 'https://esm.sh/spache@2'\n```\n\nIn browsers with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:\n\n```html\n\u003cscript type=\"module\"\u003e\n  import {spache} from 'https://esm.sh/spache@2?bundle'\n\u003c/script\u003e\n```\n\n## Use\n\n```js\nimport {spache} from 'spache'\n\nspache.length //=\u003e 1063\n\nconsole.log(spache.slice(0, 10))\n```\n\nYields:\n\n```js\n[ 'a',\n  'able',\n  'about',\n  'above',\n  'across',\n  'act',\n  'add',\n  'afraid',\n  'after',\n  'afternoon' ]\n```\n\n## API\n\nThis package exports the identifier `spache`.\nThere is no default export.\n\n### `spache`\n\nList of strings (`Array\u003cstring\u003e`).\n\n## Data\n\nSee [Perera, Katherine.  *Linguistic Difficulty in\nReading Material.*
