Practical guidance
Use word counts to compare drafts, meet an editorial brief, or estimate reading length. The destination editor may use different counting rules, so its final submission count remains the deciding check.
Paste only the material included in your limit. Decide whether headings, captions, references, and footnotes count before comparing drafts. This plain-text tool cannot distinguish a bibliography from the main argument or automatically exclude a quotation.
The sentence We can't re-enter today. counts as four words: the apostrophe and hyphen stay within their word tokens. An emoji alone is not counted as a word. A destination that splits hyphenated terms may show a different total, even though the pasted text is identical.
Sentence counts use punctuation as a boundary, so abbreviations and decimal numbers can affect the result. Paragraphs are separated by blank lines; a single line break does not necessarily create a new paragraph. Character totals use JavaScript string length, so one displayed emoji may contribute more than one unit.
At the default 200 words per minute, a 600-word draft estimates three minutes. Technical material, unfamiliar vocabulary, and reading aloud can take longer. After editing, recount the final text and check any separate character or byte limit in the receiving system.
