Quick Answers
- How does the tool count words?
- Words are sequences of letters, numbers, apostrophes and hyphens separated by whitespace. Contractions like 'don't' count as one word.
- Does it count characters with or without spaces?
- Both. 'Characters (with spaces)' is the raw length; 'Characters (no spaces)' excludes all whitespace.
- Is my text stored anywhere?
- No. Counting happens locally in your browser; nothing is uploaded or saved.
