Frequently Asked Questions
How does the word counter work?▼
The word counter splits your text by whitespace to count words, counts individual characters, and splits by sentence-ending punctuation to count sentences. Everything runs instantly in your browser.
What is the ideal word count for a blog post?▼
Blog posts targeting SEO typically perform best at 1,500–2,500 words. Short-answer posts can be 500–800 words. Long-form content (3,000+ words) tends to rank well for competitive keywords.
How is reading time calculated?▼
Reading time is estimated based on the average adult reading speed of about 225 words per minute. A 900-word article would take roughly 4 minutes to read.
Does Twitter have a character limit?▼
Yes. Standard tweets are limited to 280 characters. The progress bar in this tool shows you exactly where you stand against that limit.
What is the character limit for a LinkedIn post?▼
LinkedIn posts support up to 3,000 characters. Articles on LinkedIn can be much longer — up to 125,000 characters.
