Frequently Asked Questions

Is the word counter free with no limit?

Yes — completely free, no account required, and no word or character limit. Paste an entire book if you like — it counts instantly with no lag.

How is reading time calculated?

Reading time is estimated at 200 words per minute — the widely accepted average for adult readers. It updates live as you type or paste text.

Does the word counter store my text?

No — your text never leaves your device. The counter runs entirely in JavaScript in your browser with no server communication. Your content is completely private.

How is keyword density calculated?

Common stop words (the, a, and, is, etc.) are filtered out. The remaining words are counted and ranked by frequency. Density is shown as a percentage of total significant words.

What's the difference between characters with and without spaces?

"Characters" counts every character including spaces and punctuation. "Chars (no spaces)" counts only non-whitespace characters. The latter is often used for SMS character limits and some publishing platforms.
