FAQ
Common questions
How many words is a 5-minute read?
At an average reading speed of 238 words per minute, a 5-minute read is approximately 1,190 words. Use the Word Counter tool to check your exact reading time based on your actual word count.
What is the difference between Title Case and Sentence case?
Title Case capitalizes the first letter of most words (following style guide rules for small words like "and", "the", "in"). Sentence case capitalizes only the first word and proper nouns — it reads more naturally and is increasingly preferred in modern web interfaces.
How many paragraphs of Lorem Ipsum should I use for a mockup?
For a single content card or section, 1 paragraph is enough. For a full page layout, 3–5 paragraphs gives a realistic sense of content density. Use words or sentences mode for shorter UI elements like headings, labels, and buttons.
What Markdown is supported?
The Markdown Editor supports headings (# to ######), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), inline code (`code`), code blocks (```), links ([text](url)), images, unordered lists (- item), ordered lists (1. item), blockquotes (> text), and horizontal rules (---). This covers GitHub Flavored Markdown for most common use cases.
What is the best word count for SEO blog posts?
For competitive topics, 1,500–2,500 words tends to perform well in search results. However, word count alone doesn't determine ranking — content quality and relevance matter more. Focus on fully covering the topic rather than hitting a specific number.
