Word Word Count, with a Microsoft Word-sized obsession
A browser-based word-counting studio for Word documents, Google Docs, pasted text, and batch files.
Field notes
The interface combines document counting with editorial diagnostics: reading and speaking estimates, page approximation, unique-word percentage, average word length, frequency ranking, stop-word filtering, and keyword-density inspection. Its explanatory section focuses on cases that routinely produce disagreements between counters, including hyphens, apostrophes, numeric punctuation, URLs, and CJK text. The page states that processing remains in the browser with zero data retention, while the claimed Microsoft Word parity is presented as a site assertion rather than independently demonstrated here.
