Questions and answers
Frequently asked questions
How are words counted?
A word is a run of letters or digits. Apostrophes inside a word (don't, Noah's) keep it as one word, while spaces and hyphens separate words.
What counts as a sentence and a paragraph?
Sentences end with a full stop, a question mark or an exclamation mark, so abbreviations and decimals can nudge the count. Paragraphs are separated by an empty line.
How is reading time worked out?
At 200 words a minute, rounded up to a whole minute. Reading aloud, young readers and technical text can take longer.
Is my text sent anywhere?
No. Counting happens in your browser. The text is not saved or sent to a server or to analytics.
