Word Counter

Paste or type your text into the box and the word count updates instantly as you type. You'll see total words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, and paragraphs.

The average adult reads about 200-250 words per minute. So 1,000 words takes approximately 4-5 minutes to read. This tool calculates reading time automatically based on standard reading speeds.

Keyword density is how often your target keyword appears as a percentage of total words. For SEO, aim for 1-2% density — enough to signal relevance without keyword stuffing. E.g., in a 1,000-word article, your keyword should appear 10-20 times.

Twitter/X allows 280 characters per post (verified accounts can post longer). In average English prose, 280 characters equals roughly 40-50 words. This counter shows character counts to help you stay within platform limits.

The tool estimates speaking time based on an average speaking rate of 130 words per minute (conversational pace). A 1,000-word script takes approximately 7-8 minutes to deliver at normal pace.

No, there's no practical limit. The tool runs client-side, so it can handle large documents as long as your browser can handle the text size.
