About Word Counter

See how long your draft is, from its word and character counts to a rough reading-time estimate.

How to use it

  1. Paste your draft or text snippet into the input.
  2. Run the tool to calculate the counts and reading estimate.
  3. Review the statistics, then copy or download the summary if useful.

Good to know

  • Word and sentence boundaries can vary by language and browser. Unicode characters are counted as grapheme clusters where supported.
  • Reading time is an estimate at 200 words per minute. A final newline counts as an additional empty line.
