Frequently asked questions
How does the word counter count words?
It splits text on whitespace (spaces, tabs, newlines) and counts non-empty segments. Hyphenated words like 'well-known' count as one word. Numbers count as words. Punctuation attached to a word (e.g. 'end.') is ignored — only the word itself is counted. This matches the behaviour of Google Docs and Microsoft Word.
Does it count words the same way as Microsoft Word?
Almost identically. Word also splits on whitespace and ignores punctuation. The main edge case is contractions: both tools count 'don't' as one word. The only consistent difference is that some versions of Word count footnotes and text boxes separately — this tool counts everything you paste.
What counts as a sentence?
Sentences are split on terminal punctuation: full stops, exclamation marks, and question marks. A heading or bullet point that has no terminal punctuation is treated as a single sentence. For prose, the sentence count is accurate. For structured content like bullet lists, treat the sentence count as approximate.
What counts as a paragraph?
Any block of text separated from the next block by one or more blank lines. If your text has no blank lines at all, the entire paste is counted as one paragraph.
Why does reading time vary between tools?
Different tools use different reading speed assumptions. This tool uses 238 words per minute as the average adult silent reading speed, based on a 2019 meta-analysis by Brysbaert et al. Some tools use 200 wpm (slower) or 250 wpm (faster). The Reading Time Calculator on this site lets you switch between slow, average, and fast reader speeds.
