Frequently Asked Questions
How does the word counter define a word?
Words are separated by whitespace (spaces, tabs, newlines). Contractions like 'don't' count as one word, and hyphenated words like 'well-known' count as one or two depending on the separator.
Does it count characters with or without spaces?
Both. You'll see separate counts for characters with spaces and characters without spaces, plus a total character count.
Can I use this for academic essays?
Yes. The word counter is perfect for tracking essay length against assignment requirements. It shows exact word and character counts.
Is my text stored anywhere?
No. Your text stays in your browser only. Nothing is transmitted or stored on any server.
