FAQ
How are words defined?
Heuristics split on whitespace and punctuation; hyphenated words and contractions may count differently across tools—compare against your publisher’s spec (NaNoWriMo vs journal guidelines).
Reading time accuracy?
200–250 WPM averages vary by content density and reader skill; treat estimates as guidelines, not invoices.
SEO “word count”?
Search engines evaluate usefulness, not hitting a magic number—avoid fluff to hit quotas.
Multilingual counts?
CJK languages without spaces need morphological tokenizers for meaningful “word” counts—this page is Latin-centric.
Paste limits?
Extremely long essays can slow typing; chunk if needed.
Privacy?
Text stays in-browser.
