Word Counter
Count words, characters, sentences, and paragraphs in real time. Reading time estimate included.
Why count the words in your text?
For fiction writers, word count determines your work's format: short story (under 10,000 words), novella (20,000-50,000), novel (70,000-100,000). Publishers and literary agents systematically request word count in submission packages.
For students, meeting a strict word limit is often a hard requirement. Our counter helps you stay on target without manual counting.
For content writers, article length directly impacts SEO: Google favors 1,500-2,500 word articles for informational queries.
Reading time is calculated at three speeds: slow (150 wpm), average (250 wpm), and fast (350 wpm). Useful for estimating speech duration, presentation length, or chapter pacing.
