There is none published for the obvious reason that it will be abused by thousands of spammers writing the absolute minimum length hub.
Keep your hubs to a minimum of 500-1000 words and you'll be fine.
I do not think more words only make a hub attractive. Beyond word limit, the approach is more important
I am not sure what you are responding to. Wilderness gave you what is considered a good range.
Basically if the hub in edit mode has an insufficient content warning, you need to add more.
This thread is out of date. It's at least 800 words now.
A comparison test was done too by one blogger. They use to have lengthy posts but shortened them down to 200-400 words to make it, to the 'point' and 'quick consumption' by the audience. Google loved the lengthy ones but not the audience. In the end, they lost with Google but their traffic climbed. Weird you'd think it would be traffic that's a concern to Google and not just length of the post.
But I do write less than 100 words and it still get featured it is even chosen in a network site.
See my reply to you about impressions. Yes, that's why poetry doesn't attract much in the way of earnings. To attract decent earnings, you need readers who will spend some time on the page.
I agree with the theragededge. Articles, except poetry do take a minimum of 800 to 1500 words.
Thanks very much Theraggededge, I really appreciate the lecture, it shows me my way to improvement.
8-year-old thread. Best to start a new one as this will include out of date info

I have a sense that the mobile community is growing to the point where I think Hub articles over 1000 words are likely too much for those reading from a phone. I am of the mindset that I need to write shorter ones, say in the 500-800 range. Thoughts?

On another thread, a Hubber suggested that if HubPages had a minimum word count, it would prevent some spammers.I know that a very low word count can get a Hub flagged as substandard, but perhaps it's set too low at the moment?

If the minimum words for a hub is set 200 HP will get rid of a thousands of sub-standard contents automatically. No hub should be allowed to publish until it has at least 200 words. If possible 300 words. Poems can be the only exception.

Hi Hubbers, I have an important policy announcement regarding product capsules and moderation. Beginning tomorrow (1/28/2015), all newly published and edited Hubs will be subject to an increased words per product limit. Instead of 50 words for every product, a Hub will be required to have 100 words...
