TOOL GUIDE
What this tool does
The Word Counter analyzes the text you enter and provides an estimate of its length. It counts words, all characters, characters excluding whitespace, sentences, paragraphs, and approximate reading time. Counting rules can vary slightly for hyphenated words, abbreviations, and different languages.
How to use it
- Type into the text area or paste text from a document.
- Review the live totals in the statistic cards.
- Select Clear text when you want to start again.
Useful for
Students, writers, editors, bloggers, content creators, and anyone checking a text-length limit.
TipFor a more representative reading-time estimate, paste the complete passage rather than a short excerpt.
