Get a full readout of a text's statistics — words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, averages and more.
The complete picture of a text
Where a word counter gives you the headline number, this gives you the whole set: words, characters, sentences and paragraphs, plus the averages that reveal a text's style — average words per sentence, average characters per word, and the like. It is a fuller X-ray of a piece of writing, useful for editing, analysis, or meeting detailed requirements.
Paste the text and the full set of statistics is laid out.
What the averages tell you
The averages are the interesting part. Long average sentence length often signals dense, hard-to-read writing that could be broken up; very short sentences throughout can feel choppy. Average word length hints at how formal or technical the vocabulary is. None of these are rules, but together they give an objective read on a text's rhythm and complexity that is easy to miss when you are close to your own writing.
