Word Counter

Words, characters, sentences, reading time and keyword density as you type.

The word counter counts words, characters, sentences and paragraphs as you type, and shows reading time and your most used words.

It is useful for meta descriptions, social posts, essays and articles with a word limit.

How to use it

  1. Paste or type your text in the box.
  2. Watch the numbers update live.
  3. Check the top keywords for repeated words.

Useful targets

  • Meta description: 120 to 158 characters.
  • Tweet: 280 characters.
  • Most blog posts that rank: 1,000 to 2,000 words, but quality matters more than length.

Tip

If one word takes a large share of your text, rewrite some sentences with natural variations. It reads better and avoids keyword stuffing.
