Frequently Asked Questions
How is the word count calculated?
Words are counted as sequences of characters separated by whitespace. Hyphenated words (e.g. "well-known") count as one word.
Does character count include spaces?
Both counts are shown: characters with spaces and characters without spaces, so you can use whichever is relevant for your purpose.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is estimated at 200–250 words per minute, which is typical for an average adult reading at a comfortable pace.
Why do I get different word counts in different tools?
Word count algorithms vary. Differences often come from how contractions, hyphenated words, and punctuation are treated.
