How to count the words in a text
- Paste your text into the Your text box, or start typing in it.
- Read the Words total in the Result panel; it updates with every change you make.
- Check Characters, Characters without spaces, Sentences and Paragraphs below it if your limit is set in one of those.
- Edit the text in the box until it fits your target, or select Clear to start again with another text.
When a word count matters
- A student keeping an essay or scholarship statement within the required word limit.
- A blogger checking that an article is long enough before publishing it.
- A translator or copywriter quoting a job that is priced per word.
- A speaker trimming a speech or video script to fit a fixed time slot.
