Word & Character Counter

Count words, characters, sentences and paragraphs as you type, and see how long your text takes to read aloud. Useful for essays, meta descriptions, social posts and anywhere a character limit matters.

IDs are not secrets

A UUID identifies a record — never use it as an authentication token.

Use crypto randomness

Math.random() is predictable. Use the CSPRNG for tokens, IDs and secrets.

Never trust a JWT blindly

Decoding is not verifying. Always validate the signature and claims on the server.

Keep secrets out of code

Generate keys here, then store them in environment variables or a vault.

How it works

Count words, characters, sentences and paragraphs as you type, and see how long your text takes to read aloud. Useful for essays, meta descriptions, social posts and anywhere a character limit matters.

The counters update with every keystroke — no button needed.

Words, characters with and without spaces, sentences and paragraphs are shown together.

Compare against common limits such as 160 characters for a meta description or 280 for a post.

Frequently Asked Questions

A word is a run of non-space characters, so contractions and hyphenated terms each count as one. This matches most word processors.

About 225 words per minute for silent reading and 150 for speaking aloud — the averages used in most readability studies.

Search engines truncate them around 155 to 160 characters, so anything longer may be cut off in results.
