About this tool

This word counter helps writers, students, and professionals measure the length and readability of their text. All counting — words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, and syllables — runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or stored. Use it to check word counts for essays, articles, social media posts, or any writing project. Reading time is estimated at 238 words per minute (average non-fiction reader) and speaking time at 150 words per minute (comfortable speech pace). The Flesch Reading Ease score gives a rough measure of readability on a 0–100 scale, where higher scores mean easier-to-read text.
