Word Counter

Analyze any text for words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, paragraphs and reading time — then go deeper with Flesch, Flesch–Kincaid, Gunning fog, SMOG, Coleman–Liau and ARI readability scores, keyword density, repeated two- and three-word phrases, a per-paragraph breakdown and character-limit meters for X, SEO titles, meta descriptions, SMS and social posts. Unicode-aware, so accented and non-Latin text counts correctly.
