Frequently Asked Questions
How does the word counter work?
The tool splits your text by whitespace to count words, detects sentence-ending punctuation for sentence count, and splits on blank lines for paragraph count. Stats update in real time as you type.
What is the ideal word count for SEO?
There is no universal ideal, but long-form content of 1,500-2,500 words tends to rank well for competitive keywords. Quality and relevance matter more than word count alone.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is based on the average adult reading speed of 200 words per minute. Speaking time uses 130 words per minute, which is a comfortable presentation pace.
Is my text stored or sent anywhere?
No. Your text is analyzed locally and never sent anywhere. The page works even without an internet connection.
