Wie viele Seiten sind 400 Wörter?

With standard 12-point Times New Roman and one-inch margins, 400 words comes out to roughly 0.8 pages single spaced or 1.6 pages double spaced. That is the ballpark most professors and editors use.

Real-world use: At four hundred words you can make one clear argument with a short example. Cover letters and personal statements sometimes cap around this length for early drafts.

Academic note: Many instructors use 350–500 words for weekly reading responses.

Double spacing is the default for college essays in the US. Single spacing is more common for blog posts, business documents, and anything you read on a screen.

Font size shifts things. Drop to 11-point and you squeeze in a few more words per page. Bump to 14-point for accessibility and your page count goes up even if the word count stays the same.

Margins matter too. Narrow margins (0.5 inch) can add 10–15% more text per page. Wide margins do the opposite. APA and MLA both specify one-inch margins, so stick with that for academic work.

At an average reading speed of 225 words per minute, 400 words takes about 2 minutes to read aloud.
