A private word counter that respects your text
WordCount.Online counts your words and characters the instant you type, with no upload and no account. Your writing is saved only in your own browser, so you can close the tab and pick up where you left off — and it works offline once loaded.
Beyond the basic count you get sentences, paragraphs, reading and speaking time, a Flesch readability score and your most-used keywords. The counting rules panel lets you decide whether hyphenated words count as one, whether numbers count, and whether quotes or bracketed text are excluded — so the number matches what your teacher, editor or style guide expects. Set a daily goal and run a writing sprint to build the habit.
