Word Counter FAQ
How does the word counter define a "word"? ▼
A word is any sequence of characters separated by spaces or line breaks. Hyphenated words (e.g., "well-known") are counted as one word. Numbers are counted as words. This matches how most writing platforms count words.
What is the reading time based on? ▼
Reading time is calculated at 200 words per minute, which is the average adult reading speed. Speaking time is at 130 wpm, suitable for presentations and podcasts. These are averages — actual speed varies by person and content complexity.
Is my text saved or sent anywhere? ▼
No. All processing happens entirely in your browser. Your text never leaves your device and is not stored or transmitted anywhere.
What is the ideal word count for a blog post? ▼
For SEO, most experts recommend 1,500–2,500 words for blog posts that target competitive keywords. Short posts (300–600 words) can rank for less competitive terms. Long-form content (3,000+ words) tends to rank well for in-depth topics.
