Frequently asked questions
How is reading time calculated?
It's based on an average adult silent reading speed of 200 words per minute — a common estimate used by publishing platforms. Actual reading speed varies by reader and content complexity.
How are sentences and paragraphs counted?
Sentences are counted by splitting on '.', '!', and '?'. Paragraphs are counted by splitting on blank lines (a line with only whitespace), which mirrors how most word processors define a paragraph break.
