word limit
Maximum text allowed
A word limit is the maximum number of words allowed in a piece of writing: The essay has a 500-word limit.
Academic assignments, contest entries, and publication submissions commonly impose word limits.
To hit the word limit is to reach it exactly; to be under the word limit is to have room remaining.
