maratoolHow to count words and characters online
Real-time word count, character count, sentences, and paragraphs as you type.
Essays, meta descriptions, tweets, and SEO content all have length limits. The Word Counter updates counts on every keystroke — words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, and paragraphs.
How it works
- Paste or type — any text, any length.
- Read the stats — all counters update in real time.
Word counting rules
Words are split on whitespace. "don't" counts as one word. Empty input shows zero across all stats.
