No. Counting runs entirely in your browser, so your text never leaves your machine.

Words are runs of letters and digits separated by spaces and punctuation. Punctuation is not counted as part of a word, so "end." and "end" are the same word.

Yes. With the ignore-case option on, "Go", "go", and "GO" are counted together as a single word.

Words are sorted by frequency, most common first, so the words that dominate your text rise to the top. Ties keep a stable order.

The Word Counter gives totals — how many words and characters overall. This tool breaks it down per word, showing how many times each individual word occurs.
