Frequently Asked Questions
How are words counted?
Text is split on spaces, tabs and line breaks. Punctuation attached to a word doesn't create an extra word, so "hello," counts as one word.
What is the reading time based on?
Reading time assumes an average adult reading speed of 200 words per minute.
Can I count words in a PDF or Word document?
Copy the text from your document and paste it into the box. Formatting is ignored — only the text is counted.
Is there a character limit?
No. The counter handles anything from a tweet to a full novel manuscript, all processed instantly in your browser.
