The rule

A paragraph must be 50 words or less.

If a thought needs more words, split it into multiple short paragraphs. This rule helps readers stay focused.

A paragraph should be 50 words or less. This applies to all text in lessons. Long paragraphs can make reading difficult. Readers may stop paying attention. Short paragraphs keep the reader engaged. They make the content easier to understand.

A student is reading a lesson on a phone. The lesson has one very long paragraph. The student sees many lines of text without a break. The student feels overwhelmed and stops reading. If the paragraph was split, the student would continue reading.
