Frequently asked questions
How long should a blog article be?
Guides that rank usually run 800–1,500 words with clear headings — but a complete 600-word answer beats a padded 2,000-word one.
How is reading time calculated?
At 200 words per minute, the average adult reading speed. Speaking is slower — about 130 words per minute.
Is my text stored anywhere?
No. Counting happens in your browser; nothing you paste is sent to a server or saved.
What counts as a word?
Any group of characters separated by spaces. Numbers and hyphenated words count as words too.
