Depends on your topic, niche, competition and audience.
But 700 as a minimum is a good starting point

Now it's all about engagement.
If your users are engaged and spend time on the site with 100 words, then 100 words is enough.
Google is tracking user behavior for SEO.

I also try to always use more words that all my competitors.It really depends. Doing more than your competitors is a good starting point too

Hi, it depends, if you target to rank on Google SERP, you will need to compare your competitor's word counts to write the content, you want to be at least the same or more. If you target traffic outside Google, you don't have to write a very long post, there is no exact word counts, it's totally up to you.

For blogs, now a days for bout full page it needs to be at font size of 11 or 12 in Microsoft word document and there should be minimum of 500 words is a standard count length for writing a blog post.
The blog that has exceeding of 500 word length are considered of having good contents.

So many different answers.
I don't personally feel there is a set minimum, but I always try and stick to 1k as it's hard to cover a meaningful subject in any less.
That being said, I, unfortunately, don't think Google is yet smart enough to realise that even if you write 100 words and it answers the question perfectly, you won't outrank someone that writes 1k words on the subject.
Take a look at a few SERPs, you tend to find that our of the top 10 pages, 7-8 of them have similar length word counts - write that much.

Minimum length are 400 - 600 words. If you are looking to gain organic traffic which include lot of valuable reference links with high quality content, go for 1500 - 2500 words. It mainly depends on the audience, While considering blog post length.
