Counting runs in your browser. Nothing you paste is sent to our servers.

How it works

Paste or type text into the input. The live word count updates as you type (light debounce).

Counting rules: words are split on Unicode whitespace (spaces, tabs, newlines). Consecutive whitespace does not create extra words. Empty or whitespace-only input shows 0—no error. Punctuation attached to a token (for example hello,) counts as part of that word.

Use Example to load a sample sentence, or Clear to reset. Counting runs entirely in your browser.

Examples

  • hello world → 2 words
  • spaced out → 2 words
  • hello, world! → 2 words
  • (empty or spaces only) → 0 words

FAQ

Is my text uploaded to a server?

No. Word counting runs entirely in your browser. Pasted content is not sent to Nova Engine.

Do I need an account?

No. All published tools work for guests without login.

Does punctuation count as a separate word?

No. Punctuation attached to a token stays with that word. Only Unicode whitespace separates words.

What about character, line, or reading-time stats?

Those are separate tools in the Text category (Character Counter, Line Counter, Sentence Counter, Reading Time) as they ship. This page focuses on word count.
