Why use this word counter?
The word counter is useful for essays, articles, applications and briefs where length matters. It also gives a simple reading-time estimate based on a typical reading speed.
Example
Paste a draft to see whether it is close to a 500-word or 1,000-word target without uploading the text to a server.
Important note
Hyphenation and unusual punctuation can affect how different editors count words, so very strict submission systems may differ slightly.
How to use it
Start with the inputs shown above, review the assumptions or options, then generate the result. Where the tool creates a file, keep the original until you have opened and checked the downloaded output.
