Online Word Counter

Whether you're writing an essay, optimizing a blog post for SEO, or analyzing data, knowing your exact word count is essential. Our Word Counter provides instant, real-time metrics on both the total words and the unique words in your text without sending data to any servers.

Why Track Unique Words?

While total word count is great for meeting assignment constraints or tweet limits, the unique word count is a powerful metric for analyzing readability and vocabulary richness.

  • SEO Optimization: Avoid keyword stuffing by checking the ratio of unique words to total words.
  • Content Editing: Spot repetitive language easily to improve the flow of your articles.
  • Data Science: Pre-calculate lexical diversity before feeding text into machine learning models.

100% Privacy and Security

Your written content is yours. We process your paragraphs natively within your browser window using standard JavaScript algorithms. Whether you're pasting an unreleased novel, confidential company memos, or sensitive emails, you can count the words with total peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are words defined?

Our tool defines a word as a sequence of characters separated by whitespace (spaces, tabs, and line breaks). Punctuation attached to a word is counted as part of that word string.

Is unique word matching case-sensitive?

No. Our algorithm automatically converts all text to lowercase before checking for uniqueness. "Apple" and "apple" are counted as the same unique word.
