About Word Counter
Word and character limits appear everywhere: essay briefs, meta descriptions, tweet-length posts and submission forms. Counting by hand is slow and counting in a word processor means opening one.
This counter updates live as you type and breaks your text down into words, characters with and without spaces, sentences, paragraphs, unique words and an estimated reading time.
Frequently asked questions
How is a word defined?
A word is any run of characters separated by whitespace, which matches how word processors count.
Does it count characters with and without spaces?
Yes, both totals are shown, which is what most academic and publishing guidelines ask for.
Is my text stored?
No. Everything is counted in your browser and nothing is saved or transmitted.
