❓ Understanding Key Terms
What is Word Length?
The length of a word = number of characters (letters, numbers, symbols) without counting spaces.
Examples: "hi" = 2 chars, "hello" = 5 chars, "wonderful" = 9 chars, "extraordinary" = 13 chars
What is Word Counting?
Word counting means figuring out how many words are in text. Our tool does this automatically! A word = any group of letters separated by spaces.
