Whether you are writing a blog post, academic essay, social media caption, or a speech, Word Counter keeps you in control of your text.
How to use
1. Paste or type your text into the left "Text Editor" panel. 2. The "Writing Analysis" panel updates instantly with all metrics. 3. Check the statistics grid for word count, characters, sentences, paragraphs, reading time and speaking time. 4. Review the Readability section to see your Flesch Reading Ease score and grade level. 5. Scroll down for the Top Keywords table showing your most-used words and their density. 6. Click Clear to reset the editor and start fresh.
Core Metrics
- Words — total word count (whitespace-delimited tokens).
- Characters — total character count including spaces.
- Characters (no spaces) — character count with all whitespace removed.
- Sentences — count of sentences delimited by . ! ?
- Paragraphs — blocks of text separated by blank lines.
- Reading Time — estimated at 200 words per minute (average silent reading speed).
- Speaking Time — estimated at 150 words per minute (average speech rate).
- Words per Sentence — total words ÷ total sentences.
Readability Scores
The Flesch Reading Ease score (0–100) measures how easy your text is to read. Higher scores (70–100) mean very easy reading, suitable for general audiences. Lower scores (0–30) indicate highly technical or academic content. The Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level translates the same formula into the US school grade required to understand the text — a grade of 8 means an 8th-grader can read it comfortably. Both scores are computed entirely in the browser using established linguistic formulae.
Keyword Frequency
The Top Keywords table lists the 10 most frequently used words in your text (excluding common stop words such as "the", "and", "is"). Each entry shows the word, its absolute count, and its keyword density — the percentage of total words it represents. Keyword density analysis is useful for SEO content writing, academic writing balance checks, and identifying unintentional repetition.
