Word & Character Counter – Quick Tool
Instantly count total words and characters for essays, assignments, descriptions and exam answers. Useful for students, writers and bloggers.
Why students need a word and character counter
Many school and college assignments come with a specific word limit. For example, “write a 150–200 word answer” or “essay between 250–300 words”. If you write too little, you may lose marks. If you write too much, the teacher may not read your full answer.
With this online word and character counter, you can quickly check your text length before submitting your work. It helps you stay within the required limit and present answers in a neat way.
What this word counter shows
- Total words – number of words in your text.
- Characters with spaces – useful when forms or descriptions have character limits.
- Characters without spaces – pure character count, without counting spaces.
- Number of lines – helpful to understand how long your answer looks on paper.
How does the word counter work?
The logic is very simple. Whenever you type or paste text, the tool removes extra spaces and then:
- Splits the text on spaces and line breaks to count words.
- Counts total characters including spaces.
- Removes spaces to count characters without spaces.
- Counts line breaks to estimate total lines.
Where can you use this word & character counter?
- Board exam answers and long answers.
- Essay writing practice for school or college.
- Assignments, projects and lab reports.
- Statement of purpose (SOP) and application essays.
- Social media captions or descriptions with limited characters.
Tips to write within word limit
- First, write your full answer freely without thinking of length.
- Then paste it in this word counter and check total words.
- If it is too long, remove repeated lines, examples or unnecessary words.
- If it is too short, add one or two more strong points or a short conclusion.
