Frequently Asked Questions
How does the word counter define a word?
Any group of characters separated by spaces, tabs or line breaks counts as one word – the same way word processors like Microsoft Word and Google Docs count them.
Does it count characters with and without spaces?
Yes. The Characters figure includes every space and line break; Characters (no spaces) counts letters, numbers and punctuation only.
How are sentences counted?
A sentence ends at a period, question mark or exclamation mark. Repeated punctuation like an ellipsis (…) counts as a single ending, not several sentences.
Is there a text size limit?
No. The counter comfortably handles essays, theses and long manuscripts – tens of thousands of words keep updating in real time, and your text never leaves your browser.
