How to Use the Word Counter
Simply type or paste your text into the box above. The word count, character count, sentence count, paragraph count, and estimated reading time update in real time as you type. Everything runs in your browser — your text is never sent to any server.
What Counts as a Word?
A word is defined as any sequence of characters separated by spaces. Hyphenated words like "well-known" count as one word. Numbers count as words when separated by spaces.
How Is Reading Time Calculated?
We use an average reading speed of 200 words per minute, which is the standard for adult readers. Your actual reading time may vary based on the complexity of the text.
