We stopped thinking about word count alone.

One thing we've realized while building writing tools is that word count is only part of the picture.

Two articles can both be 1,000 words.

One feels easy to read.

The other feels exhausting.

That's why we've started paying more attention to things like paragraph length, sentence structure, and reading time.

What metric do you think writers overlook the most?
