Frequently Asked Questions

How are words counted?▾
Words are counted by splitting the text on whitespace characters (spaces, tabs, newlines). Each contiguous sequence of non-whitespace characters is considered one word.
What are unique words?▾
Unique words is the number of distinct words in your text, ignoring case. For example, 'The the THE' contains 3 total words but only 1 unique word.
How is average word length calculated?▾
Average word length is the total number of characters across all words divided by the number of words, giving you the mean number of characters per word.
Does the word counter work with languages other than English?▾
Yes, the tool counts any sequence of non-whitespace characters as a word, so it works with most languages that use spaces between words. However, languages like Chinese and Japanese that do not use spaces may not be counted accurately.
