Frequently asked questions

How does the word counter work?

Text is split on whitespace boundaries using a regular expression. The counter ignores leading/trailing spaces and multiple consecutive spaces, so every visible word counts exactly once. All processing happens in your browser — nothing is ever sent to a server.

What is the Flesch Reading Ease score?

Flesch Reading Ease rates text from 0 (very hard) to 100 (very easy). A score of 60–70 is considered standard for web content. The formula uses average sentence length and average syllables per word.

Is my text private?

Yes, completely. Every calculation runs locally in your browser. Your text is never uploaded, logged, or shared. The auto-save feature stores your draft in your browser's localStorage, accessible only by you.

How long does it take to read 1,000 words?

At an average adult reading speed of 238 words per minute, 1,000 words takes about 4 minutes and 12 seconds. Complex technical content may take longer; simple prose may go faster. Use our reading time estimator above for your specific text.

What counts as a word?

Any sequence of non-whitespace characters separated by spaces or line breaks counts as a word. Hyphenated words like "well-known" count as one word. Numbers count as words. Punctuation attached to words is stripped before counting.
