Word Stats

This does exactly what it says: paste in text, get word count, character count, reading time, and other stats in a clean table format. No questions, no analysis, just numbers. Useful when you're checking if your blog post hits a word limit, estimating how long a script will take to read, or seeing basic text metrics without opening another tool. It calculates reading time at 238 words per minute and speaking time at 150, tracks unique words as a percentage, and shows sentence length stats. The kind of thing you'd bookmark for those moments when you need quick counts without the ceremony.
