Word Counter Online — Real-Time Count as You Type

Know exactly how many words, characters, sentences and paragraphs you have written. Updates in real time as you type or paste.

Why use a word counter?

Essays have word limits. Tweets have character limits. Meta descriptions should stay under 160 characters. Email subject lines perform best under 50. A live word counter helps you hit these targets without guessing or manual counting.

What does it count?

Words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, paragraphs, and lines. It also estimates reading time based on an average adult reading speed of 200 words per minute. All metrics update instantly as you type.
