Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How are words counted?
A word is generally defined as a sequence of characters separated by a space or other whitespace characters. Our tool splits the text by spaces and counts the resulting segments to give you an accurate word count. It's designed to correctly handle multiple spaces between words.
Does the character count include spaces?
Yes, the main character count displayed includes all characters, including spaces, punctuation, and line breaks. This is the standard way character limits are measured on platforms like Twitter or in SMS messages.
How are sentences counted?
We count sentences by looking for terminal punctuation marks, which are periods (.), question marks (?), and exclamation marks (!). The tool counts the occurrences of these marks to estimate the number of sentences. This method works for the vast majority of standard English texts.
