FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the word counter work?

Simply type or paste your text into the editor. The counter instantly calculates words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, and other statistics in real-time as you type.

What is reading time based on?

Reading time is estimated at 200 words per minute (WPM), which is the average adult reading speed. Speaking time is estimated at 130 WPM, the average speaking pace.

What is lexical density?

Lexical density measures the ratio of unique words to total words. A higher density means more diverse vocabulary. It's calculated as (unique words / total words) x 100.

What are stop words?

Stop words are common words like "the", "and", "is" that appear frequently but carry little meaning. Excluding them from frequency analysis reveals more meaningful word patterns.

Is my text stored on any server?

No. All counting and analysis happens entirely in your browser. Your text is never sent to any server or stored anywhere. Your data remains completely private.

Can I use this for SEO?

Yes! Word count is an important SEO factor. Most top-ranking content has 1,500+ words. Use this tool to ensure your content meets target word counts for better search visibility.
