Frequently Asked Questions — Word Counter
How does the word counter work?
The word counter splits your text by whitespace and punctuation boundaries to accurately count each word. It also counts characters with and without spaces, sentences by detecting terminal punctuation, and paragraphs by identifying line breaks.
Is there a character or word limit?
No. The tool runs entirely in your browser, so there is no server-imposed limit. You can paste essays, articles, or even entire book chapters and get an instant count.
Does it count hyphenated words as one or two words?
Hyphenated compound words like "well-known" are counted as a single word, which matches the convention used by most word processors including Microsoft Word and Google Docs.
