Frequently Asked Questions
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is estimated at 200 words per minute, which is the average adult reading speed for general content. Technical content may take longer.
Does it count hyphenated words as one or two?
Hyphenated words (e.g., "well-known") are counted as one word, which matches most style guide conventions.
