Why writers use a word counter
Most platforms have hard limits — Twitter caps you at 280 characters, an SEO meta description should fit in 155, an academic essay might require exactly 1500 words. Eyeballing it doesn't work. This counter shows everything live as you type.
Reading time
We use 200 words per minute, the average for adults reading on screens. So a 1000 word post is roughly a 5 minute read.
