"The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog." - 94.3
"The lazy dog was jumped over by the quick brown fox." - 95.7

The difference is the addition of the two words "was" and "by".
Although the second sentence is slightly longer, the shorter words
help reduce the average syllable count, which is why the scores are
different.
