+* $post_id (int) – The post ID.
+* $post (WP_Post) – The post object.

 ### `apply_filters( 'fictioneer_filter_word_count', $word_count, $post_id )`
 Filters the word count of a post after sanitization (greater than or equal to 0) and before `fictioneer_multiply_word_count()` is applied, returning a positive integer. The word count is only calculated and updated when a post is saved.
