Paragraph Stats
About the Paragraph Counter
This paragraph counter counts the paragraphs in a text and reports the word count of each. Its purpose is spotting the overlong blocks that make a page look unreadable on a phone before it goes live.
A paragraph counter is about structure rather than totals. Readers scan before they read, and the shape of a page — how many blocks and how long each one is — determines whether they start at all.
Per-paragraph word counts are the useful output. Anything past roughly 100 words becomes a wall of text on a phone, where a paragraph that looked fine on a desktop can fill the entire screen. Seeing which blocks are longest tells you exactly where to split.
Paragraphs are detected by blank lines, matching how Markdown and most editors define them, so single line breaks within a block do not create a false count. Analysis runs in your browser.
How to use the Paragraph Counter
- Paste your text. Enter the article or document.
- Read the paragraph count. See how many blocks the text is divided into.
- Check each length. Look at the per-paragraph word counts.
- Split the long blocks. Break anything much over 100 words into smaller paragraphs.

Frequently asked questions
How are paragraphs detected?
By blank lines, the same rule Markdown and most editors use, so single line breaks inside a block do not start a new paragraph.
How long should a paragraph be?
Under roughly 100 words. Beyond that a paragraph fills a phone screen and reads as a wall of text.
Why does paragraph length matter?
Readers scan before reading. Long unbroken blocks discourage them from starting, especially on mobile.
Does it show the length of each paragraph?
Yes. Every paragraph gets its own word count so you can see which need splitting.
Is my text uploaded?
No. Everything is analysed in your browser.
