How it works
Words are sequences separated by whitespace; empty input yields zero words.
Character counts use JavaScript string length (UTF-16 code units); complex emoji may count as two units.
Use cases
Drafts, tweets, assignments, and metadata checks before publishing.

Common questions
- What counts as a word?
- Tokens separated by spaces, tabs, or newlines; multiple spaces still separate words.
- Paragraphs?
- Blocks separated by one or more blank lines.
- Languages without spaces?
- Word splitting follows whitespace rules of this tool and may not match linguistic words for CJK.
- Upload files?
- Paste content only; no file upload on this page.
