About the Paragraph Counter
Paragraph Counter counts the blocks of text separated by blank lines, giving you a quick sense of structure. It updates live and sits alongside word, sentence, and reading-time stats.
Because it is a word and paragraph counter at once, it also answers the question people usually arrive with — how many words are in a paragraph. Divide the word count by the paragraph count and you have your own average, which is far more useful than the often-quoted 100–200 rule.
Useful when structure matters as much as length — essays, articles, and posts. Your text never leaves your browser — everything is computed locally.
Common uses
- Checking an essay has the expected number of body paragraphs.
- Balancing structure across sections of an article.
- Reviewing post length before publishing.
Frequently asked questions
What counts as a paragraph?
A block of text separated from the next by one or more blank lines. Single line breaks within a block stay part of the same paragraph.
Do single line breaks split paragraphs?
No — only blank lines (an empty line) start a new paragraph, matching how most writing tools behave.
Does it work on pasted content?
Yes. Paste any text and the count updates immediately, all in your browser.
