Word Counter by CleverHumanizer

A word count is easy to find in a word processor. What this page adds is everything else you check when you are trying to land on a number. As you type or paste, it updates words, characters with and without spaces, sentences, paragraphs, reading time and a list of the words you use most, all on each keypress. If you are writing a speech, it also gives speaking time at 130 words a minute. Reading time uses 200.

The repeated-words list is the most useful extra for editing. Seeing that you used the same word a dozen times in a 500-word essay is quicker here than scanning by eye. The page also suggests 15 to 20 words per sentence as a comfortable average and points to the site's grammar checker for anything averaging over 28.

The rule is that anything between two spaces is a word. That is simpler than how word processors treat hyphens, numbers and symbols, so expect small differences if you compare totals with Word. Paragraphs are counted by blank lines, so leave an empty line between them. You can also import PDF, DOCX and TXT files, and the page says those are read on your device.

There is no sign-up and no limit on checks, and the text stays in your browser. That matters most for unsubmitted essays and application answers that people would rather not paste into a random website. It sits among CleverHumanizer's other free tools, including a typing test and PDF converters, on a site whose main products are an AI humanizer and detector.
