Live counts for words, characters, non-space characters and estimated reading minutes.
Measure a draft article before fitting it to a publication limit.
Compare a short sample containing hyphenated words, an apostrophe and a URL with the counting rules of your destination. Editors and submission portals can define word boundaries differently, so their totals may disagree. Use the target portal's count for a strict submission limit. This tool can help with drafting, but a word count does not measure originality, readability, factual accuracy or the usefulness of an article.
Compare how hyphenated words, symbols and line breaks are treated; counting rules vary between applications.
