About word counting
Word count matters for essays, articles, meta descriptions, ads and social posts that have limits or targets. This counter reports words, characters, sentences and paragraphs, and estimates reading time at an average 200 words per minute.
It updates live as you type or paste, with no limits, and everything stays in your browser. For SEO, remember that quality and relevance matter more than hitting an exact count — use the number as a guide, not a goal.
