📝 Word Counter
What is the Word Counter?
The Word Counter analyzes any text you paste or type and instantly reports word count, character count (with and without spaces), sentence count, paragraph count, and an estimated reading time. Everything updates live as you type, with no need to click a button.
How to Use It
Paste or type your text into the box. The stats panel above it updates in real time — words are counted by splitting on whitespace, sentences by terminal punctuation (periods, question marks, exclamation points), and paragraphs by line breaks. Use Clear to start over or Copy Text to grab your text back out.
When to Use It
Use it to check an essay or article against a required word count, to keep a social media post under a platform's character limit, to estimate how long a piece will take readers to get through, or to get a quick objective count of a draft before submitting or publishing it.
Who Benefits
Students meeting assignment length requirements, writers and bloggers targeting a specific word count for SEO or readability, social media managers checking character limits for X, LinkedIn, or Instagram, and editors reviewing submission guidelines all get instant, accurate counts without opening a separate word processor.
