Word Counter FAQs

Common questions regarding word calculation rules, character limits, and readability.

How does the tool count hyphenated words and numbers?

Hyphenated words like 'state-of-the-art' are treated as single words if joined without whitespace. Numbers like '2026' or '3.14' are counted as single words.

How is reading time calculated?

Reading time is estimated using the scientific average silent reading rate of 200 to 225 words per minute (WPM). Speaking time is based on standard presentation speed of 130 WPM.

What is keyword density and why does it matter for SEO?

Keyword density measures the percentage of times a phrase occurs relative to total word count. Maintaining a keyword density between 1% and 2.5% helps Google recognize topical focus without triggering keyword stuffing penalties.

Is any of my text uploaded or stored on your servers?

No. All text parsing, counting, and case conversion happens 100% locally inside your browser memory. Your documents, sensitive resumes, and draft articles remain completely private.
