Words, characters (with/without spaces), sentences, paragraphs, and reading time.
Set word count targets for essays, articles, or assignments.
Know how long your content will take to read.
Word counting is essential for writers, students, bloggers, and professionals. Many platforms have word or character limits: Twitter (280 chars), meta descriptions (160 chars), college essays (500-1000 words).
Knowing your reading time helps optimize content for your audience. Blog posts of 1,500-2,500 words tend to perform best in search rankings.
If your text includes HTML markup, the tags inflate the word count. Strip HTML before counting.
Characters with spaces and without spaces can differ significantly. Specify which you need.
Word counters are designed for natural language. Code has different counting conventions (lines of code, statements).
Technical, medical, or legal content is read much slower than the 200-250 WPM average used for estimates.
Words are counted by splitting text on whitespace and punctuation. Hyphenated words count as one word. Numbers count as words.
Average adult reading speed is about 200-250 words per minute for normal text. Technical content is slower at 100-150 WPM.
Both are shown. Characters with spaces includes all characters; without spaces excludes space characters.
Sentences are counted by periods, exclamation marks, and question marks followed by a space or end of text.
