I Built a Free Word Counter — No Ads, No Signup

I've been frustrated by word counter tools that are cluttered with ads, demand an account, or take forever to load. So I built a simple one and put it online for free. Word Counter → What it does Paste any text and instantly see: Word count Character count (with and without spaces) Sentence count Estimated reading time There's also a "Copy Stats" button that copies a clean summary — handy if you're editing an article, checking an assignment word limit, or writing social copy. Why I built it Most word counter tools I found were either: Overloaded with ads that slow them down Requiring sign-up just to count words Not mobile-friendly This one is a single HTML file. No server, no tracking, no nonsense. It works offline once loaded. Technical details Pure vanilla JS — no frameworks, no dependencies Under 20KB total Works on mobile (responsive layout) All counting happens locally in the browser — your text never leaves your device Who it's for Writers checking article length Students hitting
