What 2,200 words looks like in practice
- For a work report, try a 200-word summary at the top and four sections of about 500 words each. Readers with only a minute get the summary; the rest is there for anyone who needs detail.
- Over a 2,000-word cap by 200? That is about 9% of the draft. Start with the introduction, where a sentence or two that restates the prompt can often go.
- Posts this long need a list of sections near the top, so a reader can jump straight to the part they came for.
- Count the words inside quotation marks before you submit. If 400 of your 2,200 words are quoted, close to a fifth of the paper is someone else's writing, so check that the balance suits the assignment.
