About this tool
Whether you are writing an essay, a blog post, a social media caption or a job application, most of them come with word limits. This free word counter gives you every count that matters — words, characters with and without spaces, sentences and paragraphs — along with estimated reading and speaking times based on average speeds of 200 and 130 words per minute.
The Top keywords table shows the 10 most frequent meaningful words in your text (very common short words are skipped), which is handy for spotting repetition and for a quick SEO sanity check on keyword usage.

What counts as a word?
