How many words should be in a text panel?

A text panel must be either very short or long. A panel should not have a medium word count. This prevents problems with scroll indicators.

By Pawan Nayar · from the LLOS AI Learning record

The rule

A text panel must be either very short or long.

A panel should not have a medium word count. This prevents problems with scroll indicators.

A text panel must have fewer than 60 words. Or, a text panel must have more than 95 words. The word count should never be between 60 and 95 words. This range causes scroll arrows to appear incorrectly. For short panels, aim for 30 to 55 words. For long panels, aim for 100 to 150 words.

A designer creates a user interface with a text panel. The designer puts 70 words into the panel. The scroll indicator shows an arrow pointing down, but there is only one extra line of text. The user sees the arrow and expects more content. The user is confused when there is very little extra content.
