Count words and characters as you type.
Paste or write below. CounterWord tracks words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, reading time — and warns you before you blow past a tweet, an SMS, or a meta description.

Why word and character counts matter
Most writing lives inside a limit somewhere — a tweet gets cut off at 280 characters, a text message splits into two after 160, a search engine truncates a title tag past 60. CounterWord exists so you can see those numbers while you're still writing, instead of finding out after you've pasted something into a form that rejects it.
Everything runs in your browser. Nothing you type is uploaded, stored, or sent anywhere — close the tab and it's gone.
