Frequently asked questions
How is the word count calculated?
Words are counted by splitting your text on spaces and line breaks, ignoring empty gaps. It matches the count you’d see in Google Docs or MS Word for most text.
How is reading time estimated?
Reading time assumes an average reading speed of about 200 words per minute, which is typical for adult readers of online content.
Is my text saved anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser — your text is never uploaded, stored or sent to any server.
What word count should my content be?
It depends: tweets are short, meta descriptions ~155 characters, and blog posts that rank well are often 1,000–2,000 words. Focus on covering the topic fully rather than hitting an exact number.
Need content that actually ranks?
Counting words is easy — writing content that ranks on Google and converts readers is the hard part. That’s where I help.
