also, is it true that 単語 is an abstract entity of a word and 字 is a physical entity of a word? E.g. if i want to look up a word in a dictionary it is 辞書で単語を調べる, but if i were to say the dictionary has 500 words it will be 辞書に字が500ある?
辞書で単語を調べる is good. We use ことば just as often, though.

辞書に字が500ある sounds very wrong. That would be 単語.
