About the Word Counter
Word limits are everywhere: 500-word guest posts, 2,000-character cover letters, 150-word product blurbs. Guessing costs a rewrite.
This counter updates as you type, breaking text into words, characters, sentences and paragraphs, with a reading-time estimate alongside.
How to use the Word Counter
- Type or paste your text into the box — the counts update on every keystroke.
- Watch the word and character figures against whatever limit you are working to.
- Use the sentence and paragraph counts to spot structural problems: very long paragraphs and very long sentences both hurt readability.
- Check the reading-time estimate to see whether the piece matches the attention span of its format.
