Count the number of words in some subset of file and disregard others

Hi All,

I have some 6000 text files in a directory. My files are named like 1.txt, 2.txt 3.txt and so on until 6000.txt. I want to count the "number of words" in only first 3000 of them. Any suggestions?

I know
Code:
wc -w

can count the number of words in a text file. I am using Red Hat Linux.
