How are words counted?
Words are typically counted by splitting the input text by spaces. Multiple spaces between words are treated as a single separator, and leading/trailing spaces on the text are ignored for word counting to ensure accuracy.
Does the character count include spaces and newlines?
Yes, the character count displayed includes all characters typed or pasted into the text area, including spaces, punctuation, and newline characters (which represent line breaks).
How are lines counted?
Lines are counted based on the number of newline characters in the text. Each time you press 'Enter' or a newline character (\n) is present, it signifies a new line. An empty input area is considered to have 0 lines, while text with no explicit line breaks is counted as 1 line.
Do the counts update automatically as I type?
The Character Count updates live as you type or edit the text. For Word Count and Line Count, you need to click the "Count Now!" button to get the latest statistics for the current text in the input area.
Is there a limit to the amount of text I can analyze?
