Frequently asked questions
- How does the word counter work?
- The tool counts words by splitting your text on whitespace. Characters include every character in the text, including spaces. Sentences are counted by detecting periods, exclamation marks, and question marks.
- Is my text stored or sent anywhere?
- No. Counting happens in your browser. Your text never leaves your device.
- What counts as a word?
- Any sequence of characters separated by spaces (or line breaks) is counted as one word. Punctuation attached to a word is part of that word.
