Purpose: Count the number of paragraphs, sentences, lines and words in a document at a glance.
Paragraph Counter
The Paragraph Counter tallies the paragraphs, sentences, words, and lines in your text - handy for academic writing, proofreading, and formatting to a required structure.
Structure at a glance
Beyond a simple word count, this tool breaks your text into its structural pieces. Knowing your paragraph and sentence counts helps you check that an essay has enough developed points, that no paragraph has ballooned too long, and that a piece meets a specific structural brief.
Sharper, more readable writing
Very long sentences and paragraphs hurt readability. Seeing the counts encourages you to break dense blocks into digestible chunks. Pair it with the Writing Analyzer for a readability grade, and the Word Counter for reading time.
