Is there a word count for what is being copyrighted or not?
Too bad I cannot think of any books that have the same title now....

No, a book's title isn't copyright. There are some titles shared by many, many books. Just do a goodreads search for "Unbroken" or "Lost Soul" or "Dust" or "A Moment in Time" or "Grace". Some movie titles are being registered as trademarks, but that's a different set of IP laws altogether.
