Ask a long answer question with a maximum word count

Restrict a long answer input to a maximum number of words or characters.

When to use

Use this pattern when:

• Collecting open-ended responses
• You need to limit response length
• Users benefit from seeing remaining word count

Considerations

• Choose between word count or character count based on the use case
• Provide clear guidance on expected response length
• Show remaining count to help users gauge their response
