About Word Counting & Text Analysis

How Words Are Counted

Words are counted by splitting on whitespace and filtering empty tokens. Hyphenated words like "well-known" count as one word. Punctuation attached to words is ignored. Most word processors use this same definition.

Reading & Speaking Time

Average adult reading speed is 200–250 words per minute; this tool uses 238 WPM. Average speaking pace is 125–150 WPM; this tool uses 130 WPM. Both are approximations that vary by text complexity.

Flesch Reading Ease

Scores range 0–100: 90–100 = very easy (5th grade), 60–70 = standard (8th–9th grade), 0–30 = very difficult (professional). Formula: 206.835 − 1.015 × (words/sentences) − 84.6 × (syllables/words).

Keyword Density

Keyword density = (occurrences ÷ total words) × 100. SEO best practice is 1–2% for primary keywords. Stop words (the, a, is, etc.) are filtered by default to show only meaningful content words.
