Tips & Tricks

✓Use the "Min Read" estimate (based on 200 words per minute) to gauge how long your content will take readers to get through.
✓Check "Characters" against social media limits, since some platforms count characters rather than words.
✓Paste from Google Docs, Word, or any editor to instantly see stats for an existing document.
✓Watch the "Sentences" count while editing to catch run-on sentences in longer pieces of writing.
