What gets counted?
Words are groups of non-whitespace characters. Character totals include spaces in the first count; the second count excludes all whitespace, including line breaks. Sentence and paragraph counts are simple punctuation and blank-line estimates, so treat them as a drafting aid.
Useful for everyday writing
Check a short email, a social post, a school assignment, or a page draft. Different publishers may define limits and word boundaries differently, so use their own counter when an exact submission limit matters.
