* Font size: A smaller font will fit more words.
* Font type: Some fonts are wider than others, meaning fewer words per line.
* Margins: Wider margins leave less space for text.
* Line spacing: Single spacing fits more words than double spacing.
* Page size: A standard 8.5" x 11" page is different from a smaller book page.
* Word length: Short words like "the" will fit more than long words like "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious".
Rough Estimates:
* Standard 8.5" x 11" page, single spaced, 12pt font: Around 250-300 words.
* Same page, double spaced, 12pt font: Around 150-200 words.
To get a precise answer, you'd need to:
1. Choose your font: What size and type will you use?
2. Set your margins: How much space will you leave around the text?
3. Choose your line spacing: Single, double, or something in between?
Then, you can use a word processing program to see how many words fit on the page with your specific settings.
