How the word count works
socialwordcounter.com segments your text with the browser's Intl.Segmenter, so hyphenated words, contractions and numbers are counted the way a reader would read them. URLs, emails and @handles each count as a single word.
Why a live count matters
Editors, students and social writers all work to a target. A count that updates as you type removes the guesswork and the copy-paste round trip to a separate tool.
