Why word count matters at UK universities
Most UK modules apply a ±10% word count rule. Going over risks mark deductions; going under signals under-development. Use the live counter to stay inside the window.

Reading time uses the standard 225 words-per-minute silent-reading rate. Flesch Reading Ease scores above 60 read easily; academic writing typically sits between 30 and 50.
