What counts as a word?
Unicode-aware word segmentation counts contractions as one word and hyphenated terms as separate words. Emoji are not words. Language and browser differences can affect totals.
Characters & paragraphs
Characters count visible grapheme clusters, including emoji sequences. The second total removes all whitespace. Blank lines separate paragraphs; a single line break does not.
A reading-time guide
Choose a pace to estimate reading time, rounded up to the next second. This is a guide, not a guarantee—complexity and language matter. Other editors may count differently.
