The word count is the number of words in a document or passage of text. It is used as opposed to number of pages, due to the variations in paper sizes, font sizes and spacing. Most Word_processorcan do automatic word counts. Different word counting programs may give varying results, depending on the definition of "word", on the Text_segmentationAlgorithm, and on whether words outside the main text such as footnotes or hidden text are counted.

Novel = Over 40,000 words

Novella = 17,500 to 40,000 words

Novelette = 7,500 to 17,500 words

Short story = Under 7,500 words
