How It Works
The word counter uses a simple regular expression to split text on whitespace boundaries, handling multiple spaces, newlines, and tab characters. The algorithm trims leading/trailing whitespace, filters empty tokens, then counts the remaining array length.
// Core word count algorithm
function countWords(text: string): number {
return text.trim().split(/\s+/).filter(w => w.length > 0).length;
}Sentence counting uses a regex that splits on period, exclamation, and question marks. Reading time is estimated at 200 words per minute (the average silent reading speed for adults).
