What is Word Counter?
A word counter measures the number of words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, and estimated reading time in a piece of text. It's useful for writers checking word limits, students hitting essay targets, marketers tuning meta descriptions, and developers validating input lengths.
This tool runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored. It supports unicode text including Arabic, Chinese, emoji, and right-to-left scripts.
