How many pages is 1,000 words?+
About 4 pages double spaced or 2 pages single spaced, in 12 point Times New Roman with one inch margins. This tool shows both counts as you type.
How long does it take to read 1,000 words?+
About 4 minutes at the average adult reading speed of 238 words per minute. Reading aloud is slower, roughly 7 minutes.
Does the word counter store my text?+
No. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is sent to a server. Close the tab and the text is gone.
How are words counted?+
Any run of characters separated by whitespace counts as one word. Hyphenated terms count as one, numbers count as words, and standalone punctuation is ignored.
What counts as a sentence?+
Text terminated by a period, question mark or exclamation mark. Abbreviations can inflate the count slightly, which is normal for every word counter.
Is the page count exact?+
It is an estimate for the standard US college format. Change the font, spacing or margins and the real page count shifts.
