Frequently Asked Questions

How is reading time calculated?+
200 words per minute, which is the average adult reading speed for general content. Technical content tends to be read slower; skimming faster.
What counts as a word?+
Any sequence of characters separated by whitespace. Hyphenated compounds (well-known) count as one word. Numbers count as words.
What is a good average sentence length?+
15-20 words per sentence is the general recommendation for accessible writing. Under 10 feels choppy; consistently over 25 is hard to follow.
