Frequently asked questions
How are words counted?
Text is split on whitespace, so each block of non-space characters counts as one word. Hyphenated words count as one word, and numbers count as words too.
What is the keyword density table for?
It lists your five most-used meaningful words and what share of the text each one makes up. Writers and SEO editors use it to spot overused words and check keyword focus.
What is the difference between reading time and speaking time?
Reading time uses 200 words per minute for silent reading. Speaking time uses 150 words per minute, which matches average speech speed for presentations and videos.
Is there a word limit?
No. You can paste long articles and documents. The tool handles large texts in your browser.
Is my text private?
Yes. All counting happens in your browser. Your text is never uploaded or stored.
Is the word counter free?
Yes, free with no account and no limits.
