About this tool
This tool treats each block of text separated by a blank line as one paragraph. It reports how many paragraphs you have, how many words they hold in total, and the average words per paragraph, plus the longest paragraph. That makes it easy to spot a wall of text that should be broken up.
Frequently asked questions
What if my paragraphs are separated by single line breaks only?
Then they may be counted as one paragraph. Add a blank line between paragraphs for a clean count.
Does an empty line at the start or end matter?
No. Leading and trailing blank lines are ignored before counting.
