FAQ
What is a word counter?
A word counter is a tool that measures how many words, characters, sentences and paragraphs are in a piece of text.
How does the word counter calculate words?
Text is tokenized on whitespace and punctuation boundaries locally in your browser, handling hyphenated words, apostrophes, numbers, URLs and email addresses.
Is this word counter free?
Yes, it is completely free to use with no account required.
Does this tool store my text?
Text is analyzed locally in your browser. Optional autosave and history use your browser's LocalStorage only and are never uploaded.
What is the difference between words and characters?
Words are counted as whitespace/punctuation-separated tokens, while characters count every letter, number, space and symbol individually.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time divides the word count by an assumed reading speed in words per minute, which you can customize.
What is keyword density?
Keyword density is the percentage of times a word or phrase appears relative to the total word count.
Is the readability score accurate?
Readability scores such as Flesch Reading Ease are estimates based on sentence and word length, and can vary by language and writing style.
