How can I count letters and words in the following "text", by using LetterCounts and WordCount?

 text = {"რომელმან", "შექმნა", "სამყარო", "ძალითა", "მით", "ძლიერითა", 
"ზეგარდმო", "არსნი", "სულითა", "ყვნა", "ზეცით", "მონაბერითა", 
"ჩვენ", "კაცთა", "მოგვცა", "ქვეყანა", "გვაქვს", "უთვალავი", 
"ფერითა", "მისგან", "არს", "ყოვლი", "ხელმწიფე", "სახითა", "მის", 
"მიერითა"}

I tried:

LetterCounts[text]
WordCount[text]

but that doesn't work.

When I remove the quotes from text (by hand), then WordCount works, but LetterCounts still doesn't.

    $\begingroup$ Try LetterCounts[StringRiffle[text]]; as noted in the docs, you need to give a string and not a list of strings. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Both LetterCounts and WordCount want a single string, not a list, as its argument. $\endgroup$

I use code from J.M comment, and it works perfectly 

text = {"რომელმან", "შექმნა", "სამყარო", "ძალითა", "მით", "ძლიერითა", 
"ზეგარდმო", "არსნი", "სულითა", "ყვნა", "ზეცით", "მონაბერითა", 
"ჩვენ", "კაცთა", "მოგვცა", "ქვეყანა", "გვაქვს", "უთვალავი", 
"ფერითა", "მისგან", "არს", "ყოვლი", "ხელმწიფე", "სახითა", "მის", 
"მიერითა"}

LetterCounts[StringRiffle[text]]
WordCount[StringRiffle[text]]
