What does a word counter measure?
A word counter reports the number of words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences and paragraphs in a text, plus an estimated reading time based on the average adult reading speed of about 200 words per minute.
These limits matter everywhere: meta descriptions truncate around 160 characters, tweets at 280, college essays have word minimums, and editors commission articles by word count. Counting live as you type removes the guesswork.

Frequently asked questions
- How is reading time calculated?

- Does it count characters with and without spaces?
- Yes — both totals are shown separately, which is useful for meta descriptions, tweets and assignments with strict character limits.
