This free word counter shows words, characters, sentences, reading time and keyword density as you type. Set a word goal, check character limits for titles and social posts, and keep everything private: nothing you type is uploaded.
Everything runs in your browser. Your text is never uploaded, and Auto-save keeps it only on this device.
| Count | How it's measured |
|---|---|
| Words | Any run of letters or numbers. Hyphenated words ("well-known") and contractions ("don't") count as one word, the same as Microsoft Word and Google Docs. |
| Characters | Every letter, number, space and punctuation mark. A second count leaves out spaces. |
| Sentences | Text ending in a full stop, question mark or exclamation mark, or on its own line. |
| Paragraphs | Each line that contains text. |
| Reading level | The Flesch Reading Ease score, from 0 (very hard) to 100 (very easy). It's based on sentence length and syllables per word. 60 or above is plain English. |
| Reading and speaking time | Your word count divided by 238 words a minute for silent reading and 130 for speaking aloud. The reading rate comes from a 2019 review of 190 reading studies by psychologist Marc Brysbaert. |
As many as the topic needs, and no more. Google is direct about this. Its guidance on helpful content asks, "Are you writing to a particular word count because you've heard or read that Google has a preferred word count?" and answers "(No, we don't.)" (source: Google Search Central).
A useful way to set a target: look at the pages that already rank for your keyword and note how much ground they cover, then aim to answer the question more completely and more clearly, not just at greater length. Use the word goal to stay within limits set by an editor, a client or a course.
There's no ideal keyword density. Use the panel to spot words you've repeated so often that the text reads awkwardly, then swap some for natural variations. If your main topic doesn't appear in the top few words at all, the page may not be clearly about it.
