Many readers move through around 200 to 250 words per minute, so five minutes of reading often lands between 1,000 and 1,250 words.
Actual reading speed depends on the topic, sentence length, and how technical the material is. Easier text usually reads faster than dense or unfamiliar content.
Use the reading time calculator for a more practical estimate, then refine the draft with the word counter if you need to stay inside a reading-time target.
