Frequently Asked Questions
How are words counted?
A word is defined as a sequence of characters separated by spaces or punctuation. The count includes numbers and words with apostrophes or hyphens as single words.
What is the difference between characters with and without spaces?
'Characters with spaces' includes all characters including whitespace. 'Characters without spaces' counts only letters, numbers and punctuation, excluding spaces, tabs and line breaks.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is estimated based on an average reading speed of 200-250 words per minute. It's a useful approximation for articles, blog posts and web content.
Is my text saved or sent somewhere?
