Word count is crucial for effective copywriting and content optimization. Different platforms and content types have ideal length ranges that maximize engagement and conversion. Too short and you may not provide enough value; too long and you risk losing your audience. Our word count tool helps you hit the sweet spot for every format, from social media posts to long-form blog content.

The Dale-Chall readability formula measures how easy your text is to understand by analyzing word difficulty and sentence length. A lower score indicates easier reading - perfect for broad audiences. Higher scores suggest more complex content suited for specialized or academic readers. Knowing your reading level helps you match your copy to your target audience's comprehension level.

Reading time (based on ~200 words per minute) and speaking time (based on ~130 words per minute) are essential metrics for content planning. Whether you're writing a 5-minute blog post or a 30-second elevator pitch, knowing the exact time commitment helps you respect your audience's attention and create appropriately-sized content for your medium.

Keyword density shows which words appear most frequently in your text - vital for SEO copywriting and content themes. While you shouldn't stuff keywords, understanding which terms dominate your copy helps ensure you're staying on-topic and using terminology your audience searches for. Our character counter and keyword analyzer work together to give you a complete picture of your content's focus.
