Word Counter.
Paste or type, and watch the counts update live — words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, paragraphs, lines, and an estimated reading time. Nothing is sent anywhere; it all runs in your browser.
How the counts are made.
Words are runs of non-whitespace separated by spaces, tabs, or newlines — the same rule most editors use. Characters counts everything including spaces and line breaks; no spaces strips all whitespace first.
Sentences are counted by terminal punctuation (., !, ?), so abbreviations like "e.g." can nudge the number — treat it as a close estimate, not gospel. Paragraphs are blocks separated by a blank line.
Reading time assumes about 200 words per minute, a common silent-reading average. It's a planning aid for posts and scripts, not a precise measurement.
