How to Count Words in an Assignment
Most assignments come with a word limit, and going over or under can cost marks. A word counter gives you an exact, live count as you write or paste your text.
Steps
- Open the word counter.
- Paste or type your assignment text.
- Read the live word count, plus characters, sentences, and paragraphs.
Staying within the limit
- Check whether your limit counts the title, references, or footnotes — paste only what counts.
- Most guidelines allow about 10% over or under; confirm with your instructor.
- Trim wordy phrases rather than deleting whole ideas to come down gently.
