How the statistics are calculated
Words: any sequence of characters separated by a space. Characters: counted with and without spaces, including punctuation. Sentences: segments separated by a period, exclamation point, or question mark. Paragraphs: each non-empty line of the text.
Reading time: estimated at 200 words per minute, the average silent reading speed for adults. Speaking time: estimated at 130 words per minute, roughly the pace of a measured presentation or speech. Both are estimates and can vary quite a bit depending on the text and the person.
Most frequent words
The table below the text shows up to 10 words that repeat the most in your content, ignoring very common words like articles and prepositions, which would top any text without indicating anything specific about the content.
What word counting is useful for
It's handy for checking whether a text meets a word or character limit (essay, academic abstract, social media post, SEO meta description), estimating how long a reading or presentation will take, or simply understanding a piece's length before publishing it.
