Frequently asked questions
How do I count words online?
Simply paste or type your text into the box above. Our word counter automatically updates in real-time, displaying total words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, and estimated reading time.
Does this count spaces?
We show both "Characters" (including spaces) and "No Spaces" (excluding spaces). Words are counted by splitting on whitespace, so spaces don't count toward the word total.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is estimated at 238 words per minute, a standard reading speed. The formula is: total words ÷ 238 = minutes (rounded up).
