Counting rules: words are separated by spaces; reading time assumes ~200 words per minute and speaking time ~130 wpm (average adult pace — your mileage may vary). A final line without ending punctuation still counts as one sentence.
Why count words?
Essays, applications, speeches, product descriptions, and social posts all come with length expectations. A 500-word essay, a 3-minute speech (~390 words), a meta description (~155 characters) — this counter keeps you on target as you write, instead of after.
Is my text saved or sent anywhere?
No. The counting happens in JavaScript on your device. Nothing is uploaded, logged, or stored.
