Word counter — FAQ
How does the word counter work?
Start typing or paste your text into the box and the counts update live. Words, characters, sentences, paragraphs and reading time are all calculated instantly in your browser.
Is my text sent to a server?
No. The counter runs entirely in your browser — nothing you type is uploaded or stored.
How is reading time estimated?
Reading time is based on an average reading speed of about 200 words per minute.
How are words and sentences counted?
Words are counted as groups of non-space characters; sentences are counted by sentence-ending punctuation (. ! ?). This matches how most word processors count.
