Why word and character counts can differ between tools

Words are identified using the selected language

JustToolset counts word-like segments from the browser’s Intl.Segmenter. This is language-aware segmentation rather than splitting only at spaces. Select the language of the text when that option is available; browser segmentation rules can differ from a publisher’s own counting policy.

Characters are visible text units

The character total counts grapheme segments, including whitespace. A combined emoji or a letter with an accent can be one grapheme even when its internal representation contains several units. The input safety limit uses UTF-16 code units, so it is not necessarily equal to the visible character count.

A new line is not always a new paragraph

The paragraph counter separates blocks at blank lines. A single line break stays within the same paragraph. Sentence counting uses sentence segmentation and excludes whitespace-only segments. These rules let you distinguish a wrapped address or poem from separate paragraphs.

For a strict submission limit

Use the counter while editing, then check the destination’s own counter before submitting. Keep a small margin when its rules are unknown. Text is processed in the browser; copying your text to another tool using the workspace controls is a separate action you choose.
