Understanding Word Count Metrics
Words vs Characters
Word count is based on spaces and punctuation separating words, while character count includes every letter, number, symbol, space, and punctuation mark in your text.
Character count (no spaces) excludes all whitespace to give you a count of just the visible characters.
Sentences & Paragraphs
Sentences are calculated by identifying periods, question marks, and exclamation points followed by a space.
Paragraphs are detected by line breaks in your text. Each block of text separated by one or more empty lines is counted as a paragraph.
