For the life of me, I can't find information on word length. This first came to my attention when a post appeared last year concerning new length requirements for poetry and micro fiction. I asked for directions to the complete minimum word length list but it was no doubt lost in the holiday crush.

My continued ignorance on this issue popped up when I was reminded that 'Humor' entries had a 3,000 word minimum. (BTW, that strikes me as being way too high.)

I've looked for, but failed to find, info on this subject. Therefore and so on, I'd really appreciate a link to the info and suggest that word limits be discussed, altered if needed, and then posted a bit more promonetly.

Most of the categories have a 3,000 character minimum, which works out to about 600 words. Poetry, songs, flash fiction, micro fiction and musings have lower minimum word/character requirements.
