Knowing your word count is crucial, especially when working within a minimum or maximum limit for essays, reports, articles, or papers. WordCounter helps ensure you meet any length requirements easily.

It also displays the top keywords and keyword density in your writing. This helps you maintain a healthy balance of important terms, avoiding overuse and optimizing for SEO.

The Details section shows estimated reading and speaking time, while the Reading Level tells you what education level is needed to understand your writing.
