Frequently Asked Questions
How are words counted?
Words are counted as sequences of non-whitespace characters separated by whitespace (spaces, tabs, newlines). Hyphenated words like 'well-known' count as one word. Numbers count as words. Punctuation attached to a word is counted as part of that word.
What statistics does this tool provide?
Word count, character count (with and without spaces), sentence count (periods, !, ? as sentence boundaries), paragraph count (blank line separated), line count, and estimated reading time at 200–250 words per minute.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time = Word count ÷ reading speed. The average adult reads 200–250 words per minute for comprehension. This tool uses 238 WPM as the baseline. Academic texts or technical content may take longer; casual prose may be faster.
