It's estimated at roughly 200 words per minute, a commonly used average adult silent reading speed, so it's a helpful estimate rather than an exact figure.
Numbers are counted as words if they're separated by spaces. Punctuation attached to words isn't counted separately.
No — everything is counted locally in your browser as you type. Nothing is stored or transmitted.
Sentence counting relies on punctuation like periods and question marks, so abbreviations or unusual formatting can occasionally throw off the count by one or two.
