Home / Free Word Counter
Get an instant count of words, characters, sentences and paragraphs. The count updates as you type.
Paste your draft into the text box. Fileswin counts whitespace-separated words, characters with and without spaces, sentences and paragraphs, then estimates reading time at roughly 200 words per minute. Counts are useful for drafting, but different publishers may apply slightly different rules to hyphenated terms, abbreviations and other edge cases.

Word counts can vary between apps because some count hyphenated terms, contractions, URLs and numbers differently. This tool uses whitespace-separated word counting, reports characters with and without spaces, and estimates reading time using an approximate reading pace. Treat the reading-time figure as a guide rather than a measurement.
The number of words on a page depends on font size, margins, line spacing and page dimensions. As a rough planning estimate, a double-spaced page of standard 12-point text often contains around 250 words, but always follow the format rules of your school, publisher or client.
