I have achieved it on the blog page where rich text is present via read time FS attribute. However if i can show the same number on the cards, it is going to finish of my blog setup.

I am thinking of using another method to achieve this:

hey @info8! I am afraid we currently do not have a solution for this. You would need to have the text for each blog loaded at the same time which will impact your page performance and load time.
