How this word counter works
This tool counts words by splitting text on spaces and line breaks, and it also calculates characters (with and without spaces), sentences, and paragraphs. Everything runs in your browser, so your text is not uploaded.
Tips for best results
- Extra spaces and line breaks won’t inflate word count.
- Paragraphs are counted using blank-line separation.
- Reading time uses an average speed of ~200 words per minute.
FAQs
Is my text saved or sent to a server?
No. The counting happens in your browser. If you later add accounts/history, that would be a separate feature.
Why is sentence count sometimes different from other tools?
Sentence counting is an estimate based on punctuation. Different tools use different rules, so results can vary slightly.
What does “characters without spaces” mean?
It counts letters, numbers, and punctuation but removes spaces, tabs, and line breaks.
