Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the free online word length histogram.

It is a chart showing how many words of each length appear in your text, so you can see at a glance whether it favours short or long words.
Each word is counted in characters after punctuation is removed. Digits and letters both count, and accented letters count as one character each.
The mode is the word length that appears most often in your text. If several lengths tie, the shortest one is reported.
Every word length is added together and divided by the number of words counted, so the mean is a weighted average, not a simple average of lengths.
Yes. Tick the Exclude numbers box and any token that contains a digit is left out of the count, the chart and the mean.
It lowercases every word first, so the same word written in different capitalisations is counted as one entry rather than several.
No. The whole histogram is built inside your browser with JavaScript, so your text never leaves your device.
