How it works
A word is a run of letters or numbers (apostrophes and hyphens inside words are kept). Sentences end with . ! or ?. Paragraphs are separated by a blank line.
Limitations
Abbreviations like “e.g.” may be counted as sentence ends. Different word processors use slightly different rules, so totals can differ by a few words.
