Count words in text
Words are counted by identifying text segments separated by spaces or punctuation. Our word counter splits your input text by spaces and filters out empty spaces to calculate the exact word count instantly.
A sentence counter counts the number of sentences in a text by identifying end-of-sentence punctuation marks (periods, exclamation marks, question marks) followed by spaces.
Average adult reading speed is approximately 200 to 250 words per minute (WPM). To calculate estimated reading time, divide the total word count of the text by the average WPM (e.g., 200). A 1,000-word article will take about 5 minutes to read.
