how many words in a 3 page paper
Relevance. Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: I word-counted the pages on a typical essay of mine, and they were around four hundred words when double-spaced, and about eight hundred when single-spaced. So double-spaced, three pages is about 1200 words, and single-spaced, three pages is about 2400 words. But you should probably plan on writing at least a few hundred more than that, because not all of your first draft is going to make it to the finished product.
