How do I count words in my text?+
Type or paste your text into the box and the word count updates instantly, along with characters, sentences, paragraphs and estimated reading time.
Does it count characters with and without spaces?+
Yes. It shows both totals, which is useful for platforms and forms that enforce a character limit such as tweets or SEO meta descriptions.
