This word counter shows the number of words, characters with and without spaces, sentences, paragraphs and lines while you type. It also works out the reading time at 238 words per minute and the speaking time at 150, and lists the words you use most with their share of the text.
People use it to keep an essay or statement of purpose under a word limit, to trim a speech to the minutes they have been given, and to check that a blog post is not leaning on one phrase too heavily. The limit readouts show at a glance whether an X post fits in 280, a meta description in 155 and an SMS in 160 characters.

Chinese, Japanese and Thai do not use spaces, so the browser's own word segmenter finds the word breaks. The text stays in your browser; nothing is uploaded or stored on a server. One paste can be up to two million characters, roughly 330,000 words, and the box says so before you reach it.
