About this tool
Live word count with line, paragraph and character totals, plus a frequency table for the most repeated words. Counting ignores extra whitespace, so pasting from a PDF does not inflate the number.
How to use it
- Paste or type your text.
- Read the live totals above the input.
- Use the frequency table to spot overused words.
Frequently asked questions
How are hyphenated words counted?
A hyphenated compound such as well-known counts as one word, while an em dash separates two words.
Is the text sent anywhere?
No. Counting happens in your browser; the server only sends the page and never receives the text.
