Questions people ask
How many paragraphs are in a persuasive essay?
Usually five: an introduction, three body paragraphs and a conclusion. Longer persuasive essays add body paragraphs and often a counterargument paragraph before the conclusion.
How many words should a narrative essay be?
A school narrative essay is usually 500 to 800 words, about five paragraphs. College application narratives are often capped at 650 words. Always follow the word count your assignment gives.
How many words is one page?
About 500 words single spaced, or 250 words double spaced, in a 12pt font with normal margins. The counter shows both.
Does the word counter count characters with spaces?
Yes. It shows characters with spaces and without spaces, which is what most forms, bios and application limits mean.
Is my text saved or sent anywhere?
No. The counting happens in your browser. Nothing you type is uploaded or stored.
