Word Counter — Free Text Utility

Word Counter analyzes any block of text and instantly returns word count, character count (with and without spaces), sentence count, paragraph count, estimated reading time, and a top-10 keyword frequency list — everything a writer needs to hit a word limit, check an essay against assignment requirements, or gauge how long a piece of content will take readers to get through. Beyond the basics, it calculates lexical density (unique words as a percentage of total), identifies your longest and shortest words, and estimates a rough reading difficulty level based on average word length. This is useful for students meeting exact word-count requirements, copywriters staying within character limits for ads and meta descriptions, and bloggers checking that a post is neither too thin nor unnecessarily padded.
