The fastest way to count words

Whether you are writing an essay with a strict word limit, polishing a blog post, or trimming a bio to fit a form, knowing your exact word and character count matters. This word counter gives you every number that word processors bury in a menu — words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, reading time and more — updated live as you type.

What this tool counts

  • Words — Unicode-aware counting that works across languages.
  • Characters — with spaces, without spaces, and letters only.
  • Sentences & paragraphs — with average sentence length.
  • Reading & speaking time — based on average reading and speaking pace.
  • Keyword density — your top words and how often they appear.

Private by design

Unlike tools that upload your text to a server, everything here runs in your browser. Nothing is transmitted, logged or stored — so you can safely count words in confidential drafts, client work and unpublished writing.

Word and character limits worth knowing

  • Meta title — around 60 characters before truncation in search results.
  • Meta description — around 160 characters.
  • X (Twitter) post — 280 characters.
  • SMS — 160 characters per message segment.

Frequently asked questions

How does the word counter work?

Type or paste your text into the box and the counts update instantly as you go. Everything is calculated in your browser using JavaScript, so results appear with no lag and no page reloads.

Is my text private?

Completely. Your text is never sent to a server, uploaded, or stored anywhere. All counting happens locally on your device, so you can safely check confidential or unpublished writing.

How are words counted?

A word is any sequence of letters or numbers separated by spaces or punctuation. The counter is Unicode-aware, so it counts words correctly across many languages, not just English.

Does it count characters with and without spaces?

Yes. You will see total characters (including spaces), characters excluding spaces, and letters only, alongside words, sentences, paragraphs and lines.

Is the word counter free?

Yes, it is completely free with no sign-up, no limits and no ads interrupting your work.
