Word Counter

How it actually works

A word processor and small text cleaner in one page. It splits the input on whitespace to count words, counts total and space-free characters and lines, builds a lower-cased set of distinct words for a unique ratio, and derives a reading time by dividing the word count by two hundred and rounding up, an assumption of roughly two hundred words a minute.

Beside the counts it edits the text: remove double spaces collapses repeated spaces, remove empty lines strips blank rows, and a delete-word field removes every occurrence of one term you name. The stats then recompute on the cleaned text, so the numbers reflect what you are about to copy.

All of it runs locally on the textarea, so the whole document stays on your device, and the unique ratio is a type-token percentage of distinct words over total words.

What that means for your results

Because cleaning and counting share the same string, what you see after a cleanup is exactly what copies out, and the reading-time rule is transparent - divide by two hundred, round up - so you can sanity-check it against the word count yourself.

Where it falls short — honestly

The unique ratio counts distinct lower-cased words, so it ignores stems and synonyms, and plurals raise it as separate tokens. Reading time assumes one fixed speed and English word lengths, so it will not match your real pace or another language. Deleting a word is a literal match, so it can strip a term from inside a longer word unless you clean carefully, and there is no spelling or grammar judgement here.

A real end-to-end workflow

Paste your final text, run the cleanups to tighten spacing and blank lines, then read words, unique ratio and reading time before publishing. For a full character and sentence breakdown use Character Counter, for repetition by frequency use Keyword Density, and to proof the wording Grammar Checker is the next step.
