Questions
How does the word counter count words?
It counts runs of letters and digits, in any language. Spaces, line breaks and punctuation separate them.
Does it work for German, Dutch and other languages?
Yes. Letters with accents and umlauts count as part of a word, and other alphabets are counted too.
Is my text uploaded?
No. Everything is counted by your browser. The text never leaves your device.
