It has a word count indicator in the lower left. They've hidden the Flesch–Kincaid readability score deeper in a sub-menu so I rarely use that anymore, but word count is still right on the main page. (Not a slam on you, just a standard practice I used to use a lot, when it was more convenient. George W. Bush never scored well.)

I agree with this premise. Unfortunately (and this is not an accusation specific to you or MM in any particular instance) people have stopped clarifying. I had asked that question honestly, and got what I interpreted as snark in response. So I kind of lost my temper and responded in kind. It happens. But overall, there seems to be a rising level of hostility around here, and it's quite uncomfortable.

In a subthread below, if that evidence I asked for pans out, I will change my candidate preference today.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
