Frequently asked questions
How are words counted?
Runs of Unicode letters or numbers are treated as words, so Bengali and other scripts work too.
What counts as a paragraph?
Text blocks separated by one or more blank lines are counted as paragraphs.
How is reading time estimated?
The word total is divided by 200 words per minute and rounded up to a whole minute.
Does this tool save my writing?
No. Counting happens in memory in your browser, and the text is not uploaded.
