How to Prompt AI for Specific Word Counts

Large Language Models aren't great at counting. If you ask for 500 words, you might get 400 or 700. To get closer to your target, use 'Constraint Layering'.

Instead of just asking for a word count, ask for a specific number of paragraphs or bullet points. For example: 'Write 3 paragraphs of exactly 4 sentences each.' This visual structure helps the AI adhere to your length goals better than a raw number.
