Frequently Asked Questions

Everything about our word counter tool

What does the readability score mean?
The Flesch Reading Ease score ranges from 0-100. Higher scores mean easier to read. 60-70 is standard (8th-9th grade), 70-80 is easy (7th grade), and 80+ is very easy. We also show Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level, Gunning Fog, Coleman-Liau and ARI indices.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is calculated at 238 words per minute (average adult reading speed). Speaking time uses 150 words per minute (average presentation speed). Both update in real time as you type.
What is keyword density?
Keyword density shows how often each word appears as a percentage of total words. For SEO, aim for 1-2% density for target keywords. Our tool shows the top 10 most frequent words, excluding common stop words.
Is this tool free?
Yes, completely free. No account, no sign-up, no email required. Your text stays in your browser — nothing is sent to our servers. Works for students, writers, bloggers, SEO professionals and anyone who needs word count tools.
Can I track selected text?
Yes! Select any portion of your text and a floating bar will show the word count, character count and sentence count of just that selection. Perfect for checking the length of specific sections.
What case conversions are available?
You can convert to UPPERCASE, lowercase, Title Case, Sentence case or tOGGLE cASE. Click the case converter button in the toolbar to see all options. The conversion applies to all text in the editor.
