Word counter
Count words, characters, sentences and paragraphs, with reading time, speaking time and the most used words.
Most used words
What is the word counter used for?
A word counter tells you how long a piece of text is. Students use it to meet essay and assignment limits, writers and bloggers use it to size articles, marketers use it to fit a post, a meta description or an ad into a character limit, and anyone preparing a speech uses it to estimate how long it will take to deliver.
Paste or type your text and the counts update immediately: words, characters with and without spaces, sentences, paragraphs, estimated reading and speaking time, and the words you use most often, which helps you spot repetition.
Why use this one
Besides the word and character counts, it shows the keyword frequency, which most basic counters leave out. Your text never leaves your device, so it is safe to use for private drafts. There is no sign-up and no length limit.
Frequently asked questions
How are words counted?
A word is any run of characters separated by spaces or line breaks. Hyphenated words such as well-known count as one word.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time assumes about 200 words per minute, which is a typical adult reading speed. Speaking time assumes about 130 words per minute.
What is a good length for a meta description or tweet?
Search results usually show about 150 to 160 characters of a meta description, and a post on X was traditionally limited to 280 characters. Use the character count to stay within the limit you need.
Does it count spaces in the character total?
Characters shows the total including spaces, and Without spaces shows the count with all spaces and line breaks removed.
