How does the word counter work?
Type or paste your text and the counts update instantly — words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, lines, and estimated reading time. No button needed.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is estimated at about 200 words per minute, the average adult reading speed.
Is my text private?
Yes. The counter runs entirely in your browser; your text is never uploaded or stored anywhere.
Is there a character limit?
No hard limit — paste essays, articles, or social posts. It's useful for staying within Twitter/X, Instagram, and meta-description character limits.
