Frequently asked questions
How are words counted?
Words are counted by splitting text on whitespace. Hyphenated words like 'well-known' count as one word. Numbers and abbreviations each count as one word.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is based on an average reading speed of 200 words per minute, rounded up to the nearest minute.
