How it works

You're given a wordy passage. You rewrite it to be as terse and clear as possible while keeping every fact. Here's one challenge with three example rewrites and their scores.

Original (verbose):

In spite of the fact that the meeting that was scheduled for the purpose of discussing the new project timeline was initially planned to take place on Tuesday afternoon, it was subsequently decided by the team that it would be more beneficial for all parties involved to postpone it until the following week due to the reason that several key stakeholders were not able to make themselves available at that particular time.
Clear & concise
The team postponed Tuesday's project-timeline meeting to next week because key stakeholders were unavailable.
