How many words to a page?

[OnlyByMoonlight]

I was just curious, about how many words are there on one Literotica page?

Thanks

There are roughly six word pages to a lit page. Dialog shortens the word count.

Weird Harold will be along shortly with the exact answer.

Around 3750. A 7500 word story will generally spill onto a third Lit page (but just barely.) Such is the info you pick up from doing the Survivor contest, lol.

Unless they've made drastic changes the average is 3,767 words/lit page. Plus or minus about 400 words.

The page splits are actually done on a character count basis rather than aword count, and any html markup codes in the text is counted as well. The character count is somewhre between 14KB and 15KB so that with the typical 10KB of overhead for the banners and voting and such each literotica page is roughly 25KB for fast downloading.

The page size actually varies because it tries to break at a pargraph break in the text and there is some 'orphan line' allowances as well.

If you're trying to predict how many pages a story will occupy, divide by 3,500 words.

If you're trying to predict exactlywhere a page will break, good luck. The variance is simply too wide and the exact parameters aren't given. I copied 100 Lit pages into MSWORD to get that 3,767 average but there was nearly a thousand words difference between the smallest and largest individual pages.

Weird Harold? Let me guess................. You are either an engineer, or an accountant, maybe an I/T back ground of some kind? I hope I get two guesses. How'd I do? They've been waiting all night for your answer. LOL

No. Harold is a fuzzy head with a big nose and feet

But we love him just the same

You can think of me as a 'reformed prorammer' if you must put a label on me.

"a fuzzy head with a big nose and feet" works, too.

Sounds like you would prefer me to drop your first name, too, huh, Weird. I'll just call you Harold without labeling you. I just thought it was odd that your name just came from out of the blue to have the answer to the question, almost like it was an old question that had been kicked around years ago and you were the one guy who was going to remember the answer. Hope it's not your only claim to fame.

No, Harold is just known for being a fountain of information and generally having the answer to any given question that is asked about things specific to this site.
