What does this word counter count?
Words are counted as groups of letters or numbers, including contractions and hyphenated terms. Character counts include spaces and punctuation; the second character count excludes whitespace. Sentence totals are estimated from common sentence-ending punctuation, so abbreviations may affect the result.
