How to use

A word counter reports how many words a text contains, how many of those words are unique, and how many characters they use. Writers use it to hit a length target, and students use it to check an assignment limit.

Questions about word counter
- How does it decide what counts as a word?
- Any run of characters separated by a space counts as a word, as long as it contains at least one letter or a digit. A symbol on its own does not count.
- Does my text get uploaded?
- No. Counting runs in your browser, so the text stays on your device and is gone when you close the tab.
- How are accented and non-Latin words counted?
- A word is counted once, whatever script it uses, so a Japanese or Arabic word counts the same as an English one.
