Paste your article below — counts update as you type.
Search engines reward content that covers a topic completely. Guest posts and blog articles in the 1,000–1,800 word range tend to earn more backlinks and rank for more long-tail keywords than thin 400-word pieces — but length only helps when every paragraph adds value. Use this counter while drafting to hit your target length without padding.
Paste your essay above — the counter shows words, characters and reading time as you type, so you can check length against your assignment limit before submitting. It works as a free word counter for college essays: paste a draft, check the total, and trim or expand to the required length. It is a word counter with character count and no signup — characters, characters without spaces, sentences and paragraphs are all shown, and nothing you paste leaves your browser.
