FAQ
About counting
Do you upload my text?
No. Counting happens entirely in your browser. Your text never leaves your device.
How are words and sentences counted?
Words are split on whitespace (Unicode-aware). Sentences are split on terminal punctuation followed by whitespace (., !, ?, …, ‽, and CJK full-width equivalents). Paragraphs are split on blank lines.
What are "common words"?
Very frequent English stop-words (the, of, and, to, a, in…) that don't add much insight in a frequency view. They can be hidden with the toggle.
