How Many Words is a Page?
If you have an assignment that requires a "5-page essay", you might wonder how many words you need to write. The answer depends heavily on your font and spacing settings.
Standard Academic Rules (Times New Roman, 12pt)
- Single Spaced: ~500 words per page
- Double Spaced: ~250 words per page
So, a 5-page double-spaced essay is approximately 1,250 words.
