How counts are determined
Words are identified from whitespace-separated text, while sentence counts use common ending punctuation. Hyphens, abbreviations, emoji, and languages that do not normally separate words with spaces can produce counts that differ from an editor or publishing platform.
Use the metric required by the destination
Character counts are useful for form limits and social posts; word counts help with drafts and assignments; reading-time estimates are only approximations. Check the destination's own counting rule when a strict submission limit applies.
