Word & character counter

How to use WordTally

Count words and characters in three simple steps.

  1. 1

    Type or paste your text

    Click into the box and start typing, or paste text copied from anywhere — a document, email, or webpage.

  2. 2

    Watch the counts update live

    Words, characters, and characters without spaces recalculate instantly on every keystroke. No button to press.

  3. 3

    Copy or clear when done

    Use Copy to grab your text, or Clear to wipe the box and start fresh.

Good to know:everything runs in your browser — your text is never uploaded or stored. Words are counted by splitting on spaces, so "don't" counts as one word. "Characters (no spaces)" strips all whitespace, useful for platforms with strict character limits.
