Ever need to count the words in blog post, comment or email? Find it's too much bother to open MS Word or another large program, wait 30 secs for loading, copy, paste and finally get a word count?

Much easier to open the online Word Count Tool in another tab. A quick copy, paste and click and there's your answer.

It's not the most flexible tool - won't work if you want to count very specific things. But it does tell you exactly what it counts and what it doesn't on the page itself. And it's fast!
