FAQ
04Does the word counter include punctuation in the character count?
Yes — the character count includes all characters including spaces and punctuation. The 'characters (no spaces)' count strips whitespace only.
Is there a word or character limit?
No hard limit. The tool handles long documents — blog posts, essays, manuscripts — entirely in your browser without uploading anything.
How are words counted?
Words are split on whitespace. 'hello-world' counts as one word; 'hello world' counts as two. This matches how most editors (Google Docs, Microsoft Word) count words.
Does it work with non-English text?
Yes. The tool counts any Unicode text correctly, including Chinese, Arabic, and other non-Latin scripts. Note that Chinese text counting may differ from what you expect since words aren't separated by spaces.
