Frequently Asked Questions
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is based on an average adult silent reading speed of 200 words per minute, rounded up to the nearest minute. A 400-word article = 2 min read. A 1,000-word article = 5 min read.
How does the word counter define a sentence?
A sentence is any non-empty segment of text separated by a period (.), exclamation mark (!), or question mark (?). Abbreviations like "Mr." may inflate the count slightly.
What counts as a paragraph?
A paragraph is a non-empty block of text separated from other blocks by one or more blank lines (pressing Enter twice). Single line breaks within a block are not counted as paragraph breaks.
