Frequently asked questions
How does the word counter define a word?+
Words are split on whitespace. Consecutive spaces are ignored so empty tokens are not counted.
Is my text stored on your servers?+
No. Processing happens entirely in your browser. We do not upload or store your content.
Does it count hyphenated words as one word?+
Yes. Hyphenated compounds without spaces count as a single word.
