Notion Shows Word Count for the Selected Block

Notion used to show word count only in the page menu. To check one paragraph, you had to copy it out and count it somewhere else.

Click the six-dot handle on the left of a block, or right-click to open the block menu. At the bottom you will now see that block's word count and character count.
