Word Counter — Count Words, Characters, Sentences & More

The WRDNWRD Word Counter provides an instant breakdown of your text: words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, average word length, and an estimated reading time. Paste or type any block of text into the editor, and the tool updates live so you can quickly analyze content for essays, social posts, SEO snippets, or submissions with strict length requirements.

Why this tool helps

Whether you’re writing for SEO, preparing an assignment, or crafting a social media post, knowing your text metrics helps you hit targets and improve clarity. The Word Counter is lightweight, private (runs in your browser), and designed to give you immediate, actionable numbers.

How to use

  1. Paste or type text into the editor above.
  2. Click Count Words or type — the counts update live.
  3. Use the Copy or Download buttons to export the report.

Examples

Paste a short paragraph to check word limits for a form, or paste a blog draft to view estimated reading time. For example, a 400-word article is roughly 2–3 minutes of reading time at 200 wpm.

Tips & best practices

  • Use the average word length to spot overly long sentences—shorter words often improve readability.
  • Paragraph count is helpful for academic submissions where structure matters.
  • Download the report before submitting drafts to editors or clients for a quick snapshot of key metrics.

FAQ

Is my text sent to your server?
No — counting is done in the browser. We do not store text unless you explicitly send it through a form or contact message.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is estimated using a standard average of 200 words per minute; actual time may vary by reader.
