How to use the Word and Character Counter
Paste or type your text, then select Count text. Use the result to check a draft against a word or character limit.
Worked example
The text One two three contains 3 words and 13 characters, including spaces.
How the result works
Words are counted as groups separated by whitespace. Reading time is an estimate at 200 words per minute. Languages that do not separate words with spaces may need a language-specific counter.
