How to use the Word Counter
Paste or type your text into the box above to get an instant count of words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, and estimated reading time. The results update automatically as you write, edit, or remove text.
This is useful when you need to stay within a word limit, check the length of a draft, or quickly review how much content you have written.
Common uses
Word counting is useful for assignments, articles, blog posts, product descriptions, email drafts, social media captions, cover letters, and other writing where space or structure matters.
Assignments and essays
Check whether your writing meets minimum or maximum word counts before submitting coursework, reports, or written answers.
Blog posts and web content
Review the size of articles, landing pages, and web copy when planning structure, editing content, or comparing different drafts.
Emails and everyday writing
Keep messages clear and concise by checking the overall length before sending long emails, application text, or written updates.
Social posts and captions
Use the character count when preparing short-form content for platforms or fields with tighter text limits.
