Count Words in a Block of Text
Drop in any block of text and get a clean word count with the structure around it — useful when a word range is the spec.
Overview
Plenty of briefs come with a word range: a product description in 50 to 75 words, a summary under 100. This loads marketing copy so you can see the word count and the structure that shapes it — sentences, average sentence length, and reading time. A word count alone tells you the size; the structure tells you whether the copy is punchy or padded at that size. It measures words, not tokens — for what a model sees and bills, that's the Token Counter.
Workflow
-
Paste the block
Copy, a description, or a summary with a word range.
-
Read the count
Words plus sentences and average sentence length.
-
Judge the density
See whether the copy is punchy or padded at that count.
Why This Works
- Many briefs specify a word range, making the count the spec
- Structure shows whether the words are dense or padded
- Words are a text unit — distinct from the model's tokens
