How it works
Paste your text and the counter updates in real time. Words are sequences separated by whitespace. Sentences end with . ! or ?. Reading time uses 225 words/minute and speaking time uses 150 words/minute. Useful for bloggers checking post length, students verifying essay counts, and social media managers staying within character limits. There is no universal "ideal" word count for SEO — write enough to answer the reader's question clearly and completely. You can also convert the text case if needed.
