How accurate is the word count?

Our word counter uses standard algorithms that count sequences of non-whitespace characters separated by spaces, which is the same method used by most text editors and word processors.

What is considered a word?

A word is defined as any sequence of characters separated by whitespace (spaces, tabs, line breaks). Numbers, abbreviations, and hyphenated words are counted as individual words.

How is reading time calculated?

Reading time is based on an average reading speed of 200 words per minute, which is typical for adult readers. Actual reading speed may vary based on text complexity and individual reading ability.
