Commercial writing and translation bring their own rules for word count in a paragraph. For commercial writing, there are 40 to 100 words in a paragraph. It also can be shorter or longer, depending on the context. But it is always easier to perceive the text if an author doesn’t write all their thoughts in one continuous monolithic piece of text but when divides it into semantic parts.
We’ve looked at various articles created to keep a user’s attention on the website, and here are the conclusions we made.
Most paragraphs are 3-5 lines long, or about 35-80 words long in a relatively large size. To find paragraphs with 100 or more words, that’s rare.
We also looked at the New York Times, where a paragraph is on average 4-7 lines long, 40-70 words. So far, we haven’t seen a paragraph longer than 100 words. The paragraphs also consist of 4-5 lines on average in the Multilingual Magazine, and their word counts up to 100 words.
