🔡 Word Counter
Count words, characters, sentences and more instantly!
How this counter treats text
The counter derives its totals from the text entered in the box. Different writing apps may count hyphenated words, contractions, emoji, and line breaks differently.
Check the destination's rules
For a school submission, grant application, or publishing system, use the word-count rules specified by that destination. A quick example: “well-known tool” may be treated as two words by one counter and one by another.
Reading-time estimate and privacy
The displayed reading time assumes 200 words per minute and rounds up to a whole minute; actual reading speed varies. Text is counted in the browser and the counter does not send it to a server. Avoid pasting sensitive material into a shared or public device.
Tool notes are based on the current implementation and are provided for general information. Review important outputs before relying on them.
