This is likely to be a formatting problem. When you get all the way to the preview stage you’ll probably see a few line breaks or other formatting issues you didn’t intend (created when you paste into common app). Once you go back from preview to edit mode and correct these, your word count will probably true up. Don’t add 8 more words until you preview and double check all the formatting.
