A practical word counter for publishing
Writing for web pages, documentation, social posts and ad creatives often requires managing length. This counter separates words using whitespace, counts visible Unicode code points as characters and estimates reading time at about 200 words per minute.
Sentence boundaries are estimated from punctuation and can misread abbreviations. Some emoji are composed of multiple Unicode code points and may count as more than one visual symbol; platform limits can use different counting rules.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use this for SEO content?
Yes, for editing and length checks. Word count alone is not an SEO quality score.
Is reading time exact?
No. Reading speed varies with subject matter, layout, reader and language.
