Word Counter Frequently asked questions
- Words are sequences of characters separated by whitespace. Hyphenated compounds count as one word, which matches how most editors and publishing platforms count.
- Keyword density is how often a word appears relative to total words. Writers use it to spot accidental repetition; SEOs use it as a rough check that a target phrase appears naturally without stuffing.
- We use 200 words per minute for silent reading and 130 for speaking aloud - widely used averages. Dense technical text will take most people a little longer.
- No hard limit. The counter handles book-length text comfortably since everything runs locally in your browser.
- No. Counting happens entirely in your browser tab. Your text is never sent to a server or stored.
