Word Counter

Simply paste or type your text into the text area. The word counter instantly calculates your word count, character count (with and without spaces), sentence count, paragraph count, and estimated reading time — all in real-time as you type.

Yes. Our word counter uses precise algorithms to split text by whitespace boundaries for word counting, and uses punctuation patterns for sentence counting. It handles edge cases like multiple spaces, line breaks, and special characters correctly.

Absolutely. SEO professionals use word counters to ensure their content meets ideal length targets (typically 1,500-2,500 words for blog posts). The character counter is also useful for optimizing meta descriptions (155-160 characters) and title tags (50-60 characters).

Reading time is estimated based on the average adult reading speed of 200-250 words per minute. We use 225 WPM as the baseline to give you a realistic estimate of how long your content will take to read.
