Why Word Count Matters
Word count is critical for many writing tasks:
- SEO — content length correlates with ranking
- Academic essays and word-limited submissions
- Blog posts — most articles aim for 1,500–2,500 words
- Social media — platform character limits (X: 280, etc.)
Reading time is estimated at 220 words per minute, the average adult reading speed.
