Count words, characters, sentences, paragraphs and reading time
A Word Counter is a text analysis utility that measures words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, and reading times for document drafts.
This word counter splits your text wherever there is whitespace (spaces, tabs or line breaks) and counts each resulting chunk as one word. So 'well-known' and "don't" each count as one word, and numbers count too. It also shows characters, sentences, reading time and your five most frequent words.
About 150 to 200 words. Average English words run roughly 5 letters plus a space, so about 6 characters each, and 1000 characters comes to around 165 words. Long technical words lower the count and short words raise it, so paste your actual text to get an exact number.
Yes. The Characters figure is the full length of your text, including spaces, tabs and line breaks. If a form asks for a limit without spaces, subtract the spaces yourself. Emoji and some symbols can count as two characters because of how browsers measure text length.
Reading time is your word count divided by 200 words per minute, rounded up to the next whole minute, with a minimum of 1 minute. So 500 words shows about 3 minutes. Many adults read 200 to 250 words per minute on screen, so treat it as a rough estimate.
Sentences are counted by splitting on full stops, question marks and exclamation marks. Decimals like 3.14, abbreviations like Dr. and web addresses each add an extra split, and text with no end punctuation counts as one sentence. Treat the number as an approximation for messy text.
It lists your five most repeated words, with the number of times each appears and its share of the total word count. Words of one or two letters are ignored and case and punctuation are stripped. It is a quick way to spot overused words or check that a target keyword appears naturally.
