How are words counted?
The tool splits text by whitespace blocks (spaces, tabs, and line breaks).
Do line breaks count?
Yes. They act as word separators.
Do multiple spaces increase word count?
No. Consecutive whitespace is treated as a single separator.
What is the difference between character totals?
Total characters include everything; no-space count removes spaces, tabs, and line breaks.
Is text sent to a server?
No. Counting is done locally in the browser.
