Reading Time Estimation
Reading time uses 200 words per minute, which is the average reading speed for adults reading English text. Reading speed varies significantly by content type, reader familiarity, and reading purpose (skimming vs. deep reading). The estimate is a useful baseline for content planning but should not be treated as exact.
