# Word count (`word_count`)

> **Draft.** Draft records have not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong; do not treat them as authoritative for legal or compliance decisions.

Number of words in a text, such as an article, a chapter, a book or a post, as a non-negative integer. Tools count words differently (hyphenated words, numbers, words in scripts without spaces), so two counts of one text may differ. Any integer looks the same, so there is no regexp; detect the type by field names such as word_count, wordcount and words.
