Frequently asked questions
How are words counted?
Words are separated using whitespace, so multiple spaces, line breaks, and tabs do not create extra words.
Does the counter work with long text?
Yes. The count is performed in the browser and updates as you type or paste text.
How is reading time estimated?
This tool uses an approximate pace of 200 words per minute. Actual reading speed varies by person and content.
