Reading Time & Word Counter

It's a commonly used estimate for adult silent reading of ordinary prose — the same rough figure most blogging platforms use for their own "X min read" labels, which is why matching it here keeps this estimate consistent with what readers already expect to see.

It's an average, not a precise measurement — dense, technical writing or long code blocks read slower than that pace in practice, so treat the number as a ballpark rather than an exact promise, especially for tutorial-style content.
