* Handwriting size and style: Someone with large, loopy handwriting will use more space than someone with small, neat writing.
* Page size: A standard 8.5x11 inch page will hold more words than a 4x6 inch notecard.
* Margins and line spacing: The amount of blank space around the writing and between lines will affect the word count per page.
To estimate, you could:
1. Write a sample: Write 250 words on a page in your usual handwriting style.
2. Count the lines: Estimate how many lines you can fit on a full page with the same spacing you used for your sample.
3. Divide: Divide 250 by the number of lines you can fit per page to get an approximate number of pages.
Keep in mind: This is just an estimate! Your actual word count per page may vary.
