How These Counts Work
Words are counted by splitting on whitespace. Sentences are counted by looking for sentence-ending punctuation (. ! ?) — this is an approximation and can miscount abbreviations like “Mr.” as a sentence break. Paragraphs are counted as blocks of text separated by a blank line. Reading time is estimated at 200 words per minute, a commonly used average silent-reading speed — actual reading speed varies by person and content.
FAQ
Is the sentence count exact?
No — it’s a simple punctuation-based estimate, not true natural-language sentence detection. Use it as a rough guide, not an exact count.
