About the Listicle Writer
Listicle Writer creates a list article from a topic: a title with the number of items, a two-sentence introduction, numbered items each with a heading and a couple of sentences of explanation, and a one-line conclusion. Choose 5, 7 or 10 items and an informative, friendly, professional or persuasive tone. List posts are popular because they are easy to scan, and this gives you a structured draft to edit and fill with your own examples. Your topic is sent to our AI service to write the answer and is not stored.

Choose a topic that fits a list
Lists work best for tips, mistakes, tools, ideas, examples and steps that are separate from each other. "7 habits that make mornings easier" is a list. "How the economy works" is not. If you can imagine each item as its own short section, the topic suits the format.
How many items
Five items suit a quick read and a mobile screen. Seven is a good middle. Ten suits a post that wants to be a reference. More items are not better: stop when your best ideas run out, because filler weakens the whole list.
- 5 items: quick tips
- 7 items: a balanced article
- 10 items: a fuller reference
Improve the draft
Edit in three passes. First, remove items that repeat each other. Second, add a real example, number or story to the strongest three. Third, rewrite the headings so each one makes a promise that the text keeps. Replace placeholders in square brackets with real, checked details.
Pair with other tools
Choose angles with the Blog Post Ideas Generator, test other wordings of your title with the Headline Generator and check the text with the Grammar Checker. For a longer piece with sections instead of numbers, use the Article Writer.
Publishing tips
Put the number in the title and the first heading, add a short answer at the top for readers in a hurry, and add images or icons for each item. Keep paragraphs short on phones, and update the list when something changes so that it stays useful.

Frequently asked questions
Why do list articles work?
Readers can scan a list, find the part they need and stop when they have it. Clear numbered headings also make a page easy to understand for search engines and for people using screen readers.
How long is each item?
Each item has a short heading and two or three sentences. That is enough to explain the point and give a tip, without padding.
Can I change the number of items?
Choose 5, 7 or 10. If you need another number, generate 10 and delete the weakest items, then update the title.
Does it invent statistics?
It is told not to. Where a number would help, a placeholder is left for you to fill in with a real, checked figure.
How do I make my list stand out?
Pick a narrow topic, make the items specific and add something from your own experience to each one. A list of ten generic tips is easy to find; a list of seven things you learned the hard way is not.
Can I use the list for a video or social post?
Yes. Use the headings as slides or captions, and expand the items you like.
Is the order meaningful?
Not unless you ask. The order is usually from the most obvious to the more surprising. Reorder the items to put your strongest first and last.
Is my topic stored?
No. It is sent to our AI service and is not stored.
