Our word counter splits your text by spaces and counts each word. It also analyzes characters, sentences (split by .!?), paragraphs (split by new lines), and calculates reading/speaking time based on average speeds.

The average adult reads at about 200-250 words per minute (WPM). We use 225 WPM for reading time and 150 WPM for speaking time calculations.
How many words per page?โผ
A standard page (12pt font, double-spaced) has about 250 words. Single-spaced pages have about 500 words. This varies with font size and margins.
How to count words in a PDF?โผ
