Ignored words

Counting rules

Word: a run of letters, digits and combining marks. An apostrophe or hyphen between letters keeps the word together, so don't and well-known each count as one word. Standalone punctuation is not a word.
Characters: user-perceived characters, so an emoji or an accented letter counts once. Spaces and line breaks count in Characters and not in Characters (no spaces).
Sentence: text ended by . ! ? … or the Urdu ۔ and ؟, or by a line break. Abbreviations such as Dr. can add an extra sentence.
Paragraph: a block of text separated from the next by at least one blank line.
Unique words: different words after ignoring upper and lower case.
Reading and speaking time: word count divided by the chosen words per minute.
Chinese, Japanese and Thai are written without spaces, so word counts for them are not reliable. Use the character count instead.

FAQs

How does it count words?

A word is a run of letters, digits and combining marks, optionally joined by an apostrophe or hyphen between letters. Numbers such as 2026 count as words.

Why is my count different from Microsoft Word or Google Docs?

Each program has its own rules for hyphens, slashes, numbers and symbols. Small differences are normal. Check the counting rules in Features if an exact figure matters, for example for an assignment limit.

How is reading time calculated?

Words divided by words per minute. The default of 238 words per minute is a commonly cited average for adults reading silently in English. Speaking defaults to 150. Real speeds vary.

What does keyword share mean?

How often a word or phrase appears compared with all words in the text. It only shows repetition. It is not a measure of quality and is not a ranking score from any search engine.

Does it work for Urdu?

Yes. Urdu words separated by spaces are counted correctly, and ۔ and ؟ end sentences. Words are not reduced to a root form, so different forms of one word count separately.

Is my text uploaded?

No. Everything is calculated in your browser, and the page does not send your text anywhere.
