Word and character counts matter whenever there's a limit: an essay, a tweet, a meta description, a form field. This counts the words, characters, sentences and lines in your text as you type. Everything runs in your browser, so your text never leaves your device.

Good to know
Decide what counts as a wordCounts split on spaces, so a hyphenated term or a number may count as one word. Check how your target platform counts.
With and without spaces differSome limits count spaces, some don't; use the figure that matches the limit you're working to.
CJK text counts differentlyChinese, Japanese and Korean have no spaces between words, so the character count is the useful number, not the word count.
