Frequently asked questions
How is reading time calculated?
Based on an average adult silent reading speed of 200 words per minute, rounded up to the nearest minute.
Does it count numbers and punctuation as words?
Any sequence of non-space characters counts as one word — so "123" or "don't" each count as a single word, matching how most word processors count.
