2500 to 3500 words
For a normal reading pace, about 200 per minute, so 1000 per 5 minutes.
226-300
22 x 22 = 484 words, if you don't get tired or take any breaks
60 seconds are in a minute!
Two or three
about 1000 to 1200 words
about 140
OVER 9000!!
About 30-50, depending on how often you take a breath.
In a 3 minute speech, there should be a minimum of 380 (if you speak slower) or maximum of 460 (if you speak a bit faster). Anything slower will become boring for the listeners and anything faster will be unclear and make you seem nervous. Same thing for 2 minutes. For a 2 minute speech, about 290-340 words will be fine. That should be about right because I have timed it myself saying it. Good luck!
2500 to 3500 words
Standard speech with no long pauses is about 150 - 170 per minute. So 20 minutes contain 3,000 to 3,400 words
It really depends on how fast you talk.

A typical person, who is speaking clearly and distinctly, speaks at about 100-150 words per minute. Thus, a 5-minute speech would contain roughly 600 words, total. A double-spaced, 12-point font will have roughly 1500 characters per page, which is 250 words, on average. So, a 5-minute speech should be about 3 single-spaced pages. (Note: special cases, such as a debate team competition, can raise the WPM to well over 500)
