About This Word Counter
Whether you’re writing a blog post, an essay, a tweet, or a report, knowing your word count matters. This free word counter gives you everything you need at a glance — words, characters (with and without spaces), sentence count, paragraph count, estimated reading time, and estimated speaking time.
The reading time estimate is based on the average adult silent reading speed of 200 words per minute (wpm). The speaking time uses 130 wpm, which reflects a natural conversational pace for presentations and speeches.
The top 5 words feature shows the most frequently used meaningful words in your text, automatically filtering out common filler words (stop words) like “the”, “and”, and “is”. This is useful for checking keyword density in SEO content or finding overused terms in your writing.
Everything runs entirely in your browser — no account required, no data sent to a server, and no ads interrupting your workflow.
