How the Word Counter works
Paste or type your text into the Word Counter and it updates the counts live as you write. You get the total number of words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, and paragraphs, plus an estimated reading time based on an average pace of 200 words per minute. It is ideal for essays, blog posts, social media, and any writing with a strict length limit.
The counting runs entirely in your browser, so you can paste sensitive or unpublished text without it ever leaving your device. For a deeper breakdown of individual characters and symbols, use the Character Counter; to tidy up messy spacing before counting, run your text through the Text Cleaner first.
