Frequently asked questions
How does this word counter work?
It counts words by splitting your text on whitespace. Characters, sentences, paragraphs and reading time are calculated live as you type, fully in your browser.
Is the word counter accurate for essays?
Yes. Words are counted using the same whitespace rule most teachers and editors use. The reading time estimate assumes about 230 words per minute.
Does it store my text?
No. Nothing is uploaded or saved. The text only exists in your browser tab.
