How the Word Counter works
The Word Counter analyzes your text as you type. It counts words by separating text at spaces and line breaks.
It also counts every character, characters without spaces, sentences, paragraphs, and an estimated reading time based on an average reading speed of 200 words per minute.
You can use this tool for essays, articles, assignments, social media posts, reports, and other writing projects.
