Why count words
Many tasks come with a word limit. Essays, applications, and meta descriptions all need to fit a range. A word counter shows your length instantly so you can trim or expand your writing to match the rules.
Useful for writers
Students use it to meet assignment limits, and writers use it to track progress. Since it counts as you go, you always know where you stand without guessing or counting by hand.
