Frequently Asked Questions
How does the word counter work?
Our word counter processes your text entirely in your browser. As you type or paste text, it instantly calculates the number of words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, and paragraphs.
Is my text sent to any server?
No — all processing happens locally in your browser. Your text never leaves your device, making this tool 100% private and secure.
What counts as a word?
A word is any sequence of characters separated by whitespace (spaces, tabs, or line breaks). Hyphenated words like "well-known" count as one word.
Can I use this on mobile?
Yes! The tool is fully responsive and works on phones, tablets, and desktops.
What is the reading time estimate based on?
Reading time is calculated at an average reading speed of 200 words per minute, which is a commonly accepted average for adult readers.
