Practical guide

What is Word Counter?

A word counter measures text length and structure while you write. Beyond the total number of words, sentence, paragraph, character, reading-time, and keyword information can reveal whether content fits its intended format.

Counts are calculated with Unicode-aware word matching. Results can differ slightly from editors that apply proprietary rules to hyphens, contractions, emoji, or non-space-delimited languages.
