COUNT WORDS, CHARACTERS & READING TIME
A word counter is a tool that counts the number of words, characters, sentences, and paragraphs in a piece of text. It's used by students checking essay lengths, writers tracking targets, bloggers measuring post size, and SEO professionals optimizing content.
Reading time is based on an average reading speed of 200 words per minute. A 400-word text would show 2 min. This is a general estimate — reading speed varies by person and content complexity.
Sentences are counted by the number of sentence-ending punctuation marks: periods (.), exclamation marks (!), and question marks (?). Multiple consecutive marks count as one sentence ending.
