letter count

Word length measure

Letter count is the number of alphabetic characters in a piece of text.

Writers track letter count when working within strict space constraints—fitting text into a design layout, composing crossword clues, or meeting technical specifications that measure by characters rather than words: The letter count for this field is limited to 280.
