Count words, characters, sentences, and paragraphs in your text
A word counter measures the length of any text in multiple units (words, characters, sentences, paragraphs) so writers can hit platform limits or assignment requirements. This tool also reports readability — the Flesch Reading Ease and Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level — which publishers and SEO specialists use to check whether copy matches an audience's reading level. Everything runs locally; nothing is sent to a server.
We divide the word count by 200 words per minute — the average adult silent reading speed. Technical material tends to be slower (≈150 wpm), so consider that a floor.
A 0–100 score where higher is easier to read. 60–70 is plain-English and what most publishers target. Below 30 is difficult, graduate-level writing.
Yes — we iterate over Unicode code points, so emoji and CJK glyphs count as a single character each.
No. Every count runs locally in your browser.
Different platforms count differently. Twitter counts most emoji as two, LinkedIn counts them as one. We show both spaced and unspaced character counts so you can match your target platform.
