Frequently asked questions
How does the word counter define a word?+
A word is any run of non-whitespace characters separated by spaces, tabs, or line breaks. This matches how most word processors and essay graders count words.
Does it count characters with or without spaces?+
Both. We show the total character count including spaces and a separate count excluding spaces, so you can match different platform limits.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?+
No. The counting runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. We never send, log, or store the text you paste.
