Frequently asked questions
What does lorem ipsum mean?
It's scrambled Latin based on a passage from Cicero's "On the Ends of Good and Evil", written in 45 BC. It has been used as filler text since the 1500s and has no real meaning in its current form.
Why do designers use lorem ipsum instead of real text?
It has a natural spread of word lengths, so a layout looks realistic while people judge the design rather than read the words. Swap in real content as soon as you can, because real text often changes the design.
How many words are in a paragraph of lorem ipsum?
Here a paragraph has 3 to 7 sentences of 6 to 16 words, so about 30 to 110 words. Choose Words if you need an exact count.
