Our word counter is highly accurate and follows standard word counting rules used by most word processors. It counts words separated by spaces and handles multiple languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Hindi, and more.

Reading time is estimated based on an average reading speed of 200 words per minute, which is the standard for adults reading English text. This gives you a quick estimate of how long it will take someone to read your content.

When enabled, this feature automatically removes HTML tags, extra spaces, and formatting when you paste content. This ensures you get an accurate count of actual text content without any hidden formatting characters.

Enter a number (e.g., 10) in the 'Highlight every' field to highlight every 10th word. This is useful for writers checking pacing, poets analyzing rhythm, or anyone who wants to visualize text patterns.
