Although it is one of the tiny elements used by Google to rank the page, word count is not a significant ranking factor. It is generally accepted that longer content should contain more keywords and have a higher chance of appearing on the first page. However, Google does not give word counts the highest priority; instead, it gives the Meta title and Meta description the highest priority.
Put greater emphasis on the quality of the content, with a good mix of keywords, a flawless meta title that includes the main keyword, and a meta description that captures the essence of the piece.
