¿Cuántas palabras por página? Simple y doble espacio

Wondering how many words per page? Ask ten writers and you'll get ten different answers. They're all partially right, page density isn't fixed.

For a standard academic essay (12pt Times New Roman, double-spaced, 1-inch margins), expect about 250 words per page. Single-spaced, that jumps to roughly 500 words per page.

Blog posts and web articles often use larger fonts and more whitespace. A "page" on Medium might only be 200 words of actual text once you account for headings and images.

Novel manuscripts use a different standard entirely. Publishers want 12pt Courier or Times, double-spaced, with roughly 250 words per page, so a 80,000-word novel is about 320 manuscript pages.
