Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is this word counter?

Does it count words in other languages?
Yes! It works with Hindi, Spanish, French, and all Unicode-based languages. CJK languages may count differently since they don't use spaces between words.
What is the ideal blog post length for SEO?
Most SEO experts recommend 1,500–2,500 words for in-depth blog posts. The ideal length depends on your topic and competition.
How is reading time calculated?
We use the industry-standard rate of 200 words per minute for average adult reading speed.
Can I use this for social media character limits?
Absolutely! Use the character count to stay within Twitter/X (280 chars), Instagram caption (2,200 chars), or LinkedIn post (3,000 chars) limits.
