Frequently Asked Questions
Is this word counter free?
Yes, our word count and text analysis tool is completely free to use without any limitations.
Is my text private and secure?
Absolutely. All processing is done locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your text is never sent to our servers.
Does it count words accurately for all languages?
Yes, our algorithm uses whitespace-based counting which is accurate for most modern languages across multiple writing systems.
How is the readability score calculated?
We use the Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level formula, which analyzes sentence length and syllable count to determine the difficulty of the text.
How do I count words in Ukrainian?
Our word counter works seamlessly with Ukrainian text. Simply paste your Ukrainian text into the input field — it uses whitespace-based counting, which is accurate for Ukrainian and all other Slavic languages.
What is a good readability score?
For web content and general-purpose writing, a Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level of 6–8 is ideal (readable by most adults). A Flesch Reading Ease score of 60–70 is considered 'Standard' or plain English. Academic papers may target Grade 12+, while children's content targets Grade 3–5.
How do I check keyword density?
Scroll to the 'Keyword Density' section below the text editor. It shows your top 10 most-used words along with their frequency and percentage. Aim for 1–3% for your primary keyword. Stop words (like 'the', 'and', 'is') are automatically filtered out.
Understanding Your Text Statistics
Every metric explained — so you know exactly what you're measuring and why it matters.
Word Count
Counts every sequence of characters separated by whitespace. Accurate for all whitespace-delimited languages including English and Ukrainian. Used by editors, platforms like Twitter, and academic institutions to enforce length limits.
Sentence Count
Splits text on period, exclamation mark, and question mark followed by a space or end of input. Useful for checking whether your writing is composed of enough complete thoughts, and for calculating readability scores.
Characters With Spaces
The total number of characters including every space and line break. This is the raw length of your text — the number platforms like Twitter and Meta use for their character limits.
Characters Without Spaces
Character count after stripping all whitespace. Useful when comparing the actual content volume of two texts, or when a publisher charges per character of typeset copy.
Paragraph Count
Counts blocks of text separated by one or more blank lines. Helps writers monitor structure — a well-paced article typically has short paragraphs of 3–5 sentences for online reading.
Unique Words & Vocabulary Richness
Counts distinct lowercase words after removing punctuation. The percentage shown (vocabulary richness) is unique words ÷ total words × 100. A higher percentage means more varied vocabulary. Academic writing typically scores 60–80%; repetitive marketing copy often falls below 40%.
Reading Time
Estimated at 200 words per minute — the average silent reading speed for an adult. Useful for blog posts, where readers decide in seconds whether to continue. Aim for under 7 minutes for web content.
Speaking Time
Estimated at 130 words per minute — the average comfortable speaking pace for presentations and podcasts. A 5-minute speech is roughly 650 words. Use this to time talks, videos, or voice-overs.
Average Word Length
Total characters in all words divided by word count. English averages 4.5–5 characters per word. Scores above 6 suggest heavy use of technical or academic vocabulary; below 4 indicates very simple or conversational text.
Readability Score (Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level)
Formula: 0.39 × (words ÷ sentences) + 11.8 × (syllables ÷ words) − 15.59. The result maps to a US school grade level. Grade 6–8 is ideal for web content and email. Grade 12+ suits academic papers. Note: works best for English; results for other languages are approximate.
Reading Ease (Flesch Reading Ease)
Formula: 206.835 − 1.015 × (words ÷ sentences) − 84.6 × (syllables ÷ words). Score ranges from 0 to 100 — higher is easier. 60–70 is Standard (plain English), 90+ is Very Easy (children's books), 0–30 is Very Confusing (legal/scientific text). Complements the grade-level score with a plain-language label.
