About the Word & Character Counter
Count words and characters instantly while writing descriptions, application answers or website copy.
Formula or method
Words are counted as sequences of letters and numbers, including common hyphenated or apostrophe-connected words. Reading time is an estimate based on 200 words per minute.
Worked example
The phrase “ToolMosaic saves time” contains three words. Character counts include spaces; reading time is rounded up to a full minute.
How to use the tool
Start with the example values above, then replace each input with your own figures. The results update immediately. Review the units, denominators, and assumptions before using any number in an important decision.
Assumptions and limitations
Languages without spaces may require specialized segmentation. This counter is a drafting aid, not an official submission validator for every writing platform.
Frequently asked questions
Does the character count include spaces?
Yes. Use the result to check a platform's character limit, then verify the platform's own counting rules.
