Word Counter FAQ
Does Goodies Stack save or upload my text?
No. In this tool, your text is analyzed in the browser and is not persisted or sent to Goodies Stack.
How are words counted?
The counter uses the browser's Unicode-aware text segmentation when available, with a Unicode-aware fallback for older browsers.
How is reading time estimated?
The estimate uses a reading pace of 200 words per minute. Short non-empty text is shown as less than one minute.
