# Rule condition: Word count exceeds/doesn't exceed

* Check if a field, like a title, has more than a specific number of words
* Check if a field, like a title, doesn't have more than a specific number of words

Use the **word count exceeds** action to check if the number of words **exceeds** (is more than) a specific number.

Use the **word count doesn't exceed** action to check if the number of words **doesn't exceed** (is not more than) a specific number.

{% hint style="info" %}
Values are split up by whitespaces. A new line is also considered a whitespace.

| **Example item 1**                 | **Example item 2**                      |
| "This description has some words." | "This description also has words."      |
| This would have a word count of 5. | This would also have a word count of 5. |

{% hint style="info" %}
"Exceeds/doesn't exceed" is not the same as "is (not) equal to". These examples both have a word count of 5, meaning that a check for **word count exceeds 5** would not find any items, but a check for **word count exceeds 4** would find both items.
