A good use for this
Checking a piece of writing against a word limit before submitting it — for essays, applications, posts, or captions.
Limits
Counts follow the tool's own rules for what counts as a word or sentence; different sites count hyphenated words or numbers slightly differently, so a count may differ by a word or two from another counter.
