What is this?
The Word Counter gives you an instant, detailed breakdown of your text — words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, lines and estimated reading time — as you type.
How it works
Type or paste your content and the statistics update in real time. Word counts split on whitespace, reading time assumes an average pace of 200 words per minute, and sentences are detected using punctuation boundaries.
Use cases
- Meet essay, article or assignment word limits.
- Keep social media posts within platform character caps.
- Estimate how long a blog post will take readers to finish.
- Track progress while drafting long-form content.
FAQ

- Does it count characters with spaces?

- Is my writing saved anywhere?
