FAQ

How are words counted?

Words are split on whitespace — same as most English word counters. CJK text without spaces counts as one "word" per contiguous non-space block; use the dedicated CJK character count for Chinese/Japanese/Korean.

Is my text uploaded?

No. Counting runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to Pocketful.

What's a paragraph?

Blocks of text separated by one or more blank lines (double newline).
