Frequently asked questions
How is reading time calculated?+
Using an average adult silent reading speed of about 200 words per minute, rounded up to the nearest minute.
Does it count numbers and contractions as words?+
Yes, any sequence of letters, numbers, apostrophes or hyphens counts as one word.
Why might the sentence count seem off?+
Sentences are detected by punctuation (., !, ?), so abbreviations like "e.g." or decimal numbers can occasionally be miscounted as sentence breaks.
