How to Use This Calculator
The word counter helps writers, students, editors, marketers, and office teams check text length quickly. Paste a draft to count words, characters, characters without spaces, sentences, and paragraphs.
Formula
Words are counted as groups of letters or numbers, including common apostrophe and hyphen patterns. Characters count every typed character, including spaces and punctuation.
Example
If a meta description must stay under 160 characters or an assignment needs 1,000 words, this tool gives an immediate count while you edit.
Common Tips
- Use character count for titles, ads, snippets, and short descriptions.
- Use word count for essays, blog posts, scripts, and editorial briefs.
- For final submissions, check the target platform because some tools count symbols differently.
