Word Counter — FAQs
How are words counted?
Words are groups of characters separated by whitespace. Multiple spaces and line breaks don't inflate the count.
What reading speed is used?
An average of 200 words per minute — a common estimate for adult silent reading.
Is there a character limit?
No. The counter handles long documents, though very large pastes may take a moment.
Is my text private?
Yes. Counting happens locally in your browser on ToolKishop; your text is never sent anywhere.
