About Word Counter
A word counter helps writers quickly measure the length of text. It can be useful for assignments, articles, reports, social posts and other writing where length matters.

Paste or type your text into the editor. The tool counts words and characters and provides other basic text statistics available in the current implementation.
A simple example
Before you use the result
Check that you have entered the values in the correct units and that the question you are answering matches the tool you selected. A calculator can produce a precise answer to the wrong question just as easily as the right one.
For important decisions
Use the result as a helpful calculation or estimate. Where money, tax, contracts, compliance or other high-impact decisions are involved, confirm the result against the relevant official information.

Frequently asked questions
Does punctuation count as a word?
The counter uses text parsing rules rather than treating every punctuation mark as a separate word.
