Count the number of rows in another sheet

Question

I have looked at the suggested questions to find the answer to my problem. The closest question is called: Count number of rows in a different Excel Sheet Count number of rows in a different Excel Sheet

The solution to that problem does not work for me.

I am trying to count the number of rows in a range in a different worksheet than the active worksheet. Here is my code:

Sub verbflashcards()

Dim wordcount As Long

With Worksheets("Verbs")
wordcount = .Range(Cells(4, 1), Cells(4, 1).End(xlDown)).Rows.Count
End With

MsgBox (wordcount)
End Sub

I have a worksheet called Verbs and it is the second worksheet in the workbook. I have tried:

With Verbs
With Sheet2
With Sheets("Verbs")
With Sheets("Sheet2") 

None of them seem to work.
