Word counter

How it works

Words are counted as groups of letters or digits separated by spaces. Sentences end at a full stop, question mark, exclamation mark or the Urdu full stop. Paragraphs are separated by a blank line.

Reading time uses 200 words a minute and speaking time uses 130 words a minute. These are averages, so your own pace may differ.

Common questions

Does it work for Urdu?

Yes. Words are counted by spaces, so Urdu and mixed English and Urdu text work the same way.

Is the count the same as Microsoft Word?

It is very close. Small differences can come from how hyphens, numbers and symbols are treated.

Is my text saved?

No. The count runs in your browser and the text is never sent anywhere.
