≈ 2k–7k copies

About half the games that made it here had over 21 reviews in their first month; the range was 4 to 34.

Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Word Game (8 of 8) and Spelling (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Education + Typing, priced around $10.
When they shipped: None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2021. That says more about which games were found than about the market.

How these numbers were worked out

A hit here: 1,000+ reviews, roughly $150k+ before Steam's cut (a standard indie benchmark).

Copies come from each game's reviews times a sales-per-review rate that falls with release age, from about 31 for the most recent game here to about 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
